National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) 2024 Summer Stipends
Limit: 1 // I. Romano (School of Art)
The program continues to focus on stimulating new research in the humanities and its publication by supporting the work of individual scholars doing research or writing. We are, however, introducing changes in eligibility requirements expected to bolster support for new applicants. We are also pleased to announce that we are increasing the award amount to $8000 and expect to maintain similar funding rates as in past years, even as NEH limits submissions to one per institution for those subject to the nomination requirement. The new program guidelines will be posted by June 18, 2024 on our website at: https://www.neh.gov/grants/research/summer-stipends
Institutions of higher education in the United States and its jurisdictions may each nominate two faculty members per deadline.
- Application available (anticipated): June 18, 2024
- Next deadline (anticipated): September 18, 2024
Due to the competitive nature of this funding program, the internal competition is run based on the anticipated September 18, 2024, 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 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.
