NEH Summer Stipends Program

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
  • 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 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.

On 4/14/2021 NEH staff hosted a webinar describing the program: including eligibility, the application and nomination processes, and suggestions for writing an effective application. The presentation included questions and answers from participants.  The webinar can be viewed here and a pdf version of the presentation slides is also available.

A second recorded webinar focused on application writing tips will be available on May 20, 2021. Last year’s webinar can be viewed here and a PDF version of the presentation slides is also available.
