Fellowships
Funding Agency:
- National Endowment for the Humanities
NEH Fellowships are competitive awards granted to individual scholars pursuing projects that embody exceptional research, rigorous analysis, and clear writing. Applications must clearly articulate a project’s value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.
Fellowships provide recipients time to conduct research or to produce books, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, e-books, digital materials, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions resulting from previous research. Projects may be at any stage of development.
NEH invites research applications from scholars in all disciplines, and it encourages submissions from independent scholars and junior scholars.
Applicants interested in research projects that are either born digital or require mainly digital expression and digital publication are encouraged to apply instead for NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication.
A free online information session will be held on February 16, 2022, at 12:30 p.m. Eastern. Please click here for a link to the event. The webinar will introduce the program, describe the application process and eligibility criteria, and offer application writing suggestions. It will consist of a 35-minute presentation followed by a question-and-answer session. Live captions will be provided.
Maximum award amount: $60,000
