The National Humanities Center offers forty residential fellowships (September 2012 through May 2013) for advanced study in history, literature, philosophy, and all other fields of the humanities. Applicants from the arts, the natural and social sciences, and the professions are also eligible if their work has a humanistic dimension.
Most fellowships are unrestricted, but several are designated for particular fields, including a fellowship for young women in philosophy, and individual fellowships for Scandinavian studies, environmental studies, art history, theology, and Asian studies. Senior and younger scholars from all nations may apply.
Applicants must hold doctorate or equivalent scholarly credentials and must have a record of publication (the Center does not support the revision of doctoral dissertations by new Ph.D.s without substantial work in print). Stipends up to $60,000 are individually determined based on half-salary. Round-trip travel for Fellows and immediate family is also provided. Fellowships are supported by the Center’s endowment, private foundation grants, alumni contributions, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Application deadline for 2012-2013 fellowships is October 15, 2011.
