Fellowships

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is inviting applications for its Fellowships program, aimed at supporting individual scholars engaged in significant humanistic research. This initiative offers financial assistance of $30,000 to $60,000 over a period of 6 to 12 months for research and writing projects, such as books, articles, and digital materials. The application deadline is April 9, 2025, with grant awards anticipated in December 2025, subject to funding availability of approximately $4 million for about 80 projects. Eligible applicants include U.S. citizens, foreign nationals residing in the U.S., and those completing degree requirements. Importantly, no prior budget is necessary, and cost-sharing is not required. NEH encourages projects that align with its initiatives addressing democracy, equity, climate change, and cultural narratives. Applications must include specific documents, such as a narrative outline, work plan, and bibliography. The peer review process will evaluate projects based on intellectual significance, quality of the proposal, and feasibility. The NEH aims to disseminate the findings broadly and encourages diverse participation in advancing humanities scholarship.
