Promotion of the Humanities Fellowships and Stipends

 

Fellowships and Stipends provide support for individual scholars to produce humanities scholarship, including books, articles, and digital projects. Fellowships are competitive awards granted to individual scholars pursuing projects that embody exceptional research, rigorous analysis, and clear writing. Awards for Faculty offer flexible fellowships to those employed at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities. Summer Stipends offer two-month awards to pursue focused research. Public Scholar awards encourage writing books for a wide readership. Fellowships for Digital Publication support projects that require digital expression. Fellowships for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan support research on modern Japanese society and political economy, Japan's international relations, and U.S.-Japan relations.
