NEH Summer Stipends Limited Submission Internal Deadline
The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Summer Stipends program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication. The program works to accomplish this goal by:
- Providing small awards to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both
- Supporting projects at any stage of development, but most especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective
- Furthering the NEH’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the humanities by encouraging applications from independent scholars and faculty at Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, tribal colleges and universities, and community colleges
Summer Stipends provide $6,000 for two consecutive months of full-time research and writing on a humanities project. Recipients must work full-time on their projects for these two months and may hold other non-NEH sources of support or research grants supporting the same project during this time. Summer Stipends normally support work carried out during the summer months, but arrangements can be made for other times of the year. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.
Further information about the program and the submission process is available on the National Endowment for the Humanities site at https://www.neh.gov/grants/research/summer-stipends.
