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 especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective
Funding a wide range of individuals, including independent scholars, community college faculty, and non-teaching staff at universities
Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.
