Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends program is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to help individual scholars, researchers, teachers, and writers make focused progress on advanced humanities research. The central purpose is to fund full-time, continuous work on a humanities project over a two-month period, with the expectation that the work will be meaningful to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Projects can be at any stage of development, from early research and planning through drafting and completion, as long as the applicant can clearly describe the scholarly contribution and what will be accomplished during the funded two months.
Summer Stipends are awarded only to individuals rather than organizations, meaning universities, nonprofits, and other institutions cannot apply as the applicant of record. However, applicants who are affiliated with a college or university must be nominated by their institution, which is an important procedural requirement for faculty or staff based at an academic institution. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for applicants who do not have additional financial support lined up.
In terms of outputs, NEH expects recipients to produce substantial humanities-oriented results. Typical outcomes include scholarly articles, monographs and books, digital humanities materials, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other research resources that contribute to public knowledge or academic fields in the humanities. The program is flexible about format and topic, emphasizing the value and credibility of the project and the applicant's plan for intensive work during the stipend period.
NEH also highlights particular interest in applications from faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment, and Tribal Colleges and Universities, signaling an encouragement to broaden participation and strengthen humanities scholarship across diverse institutional contexts. In addition, the program welcomes projects that align with NEH's Bridging Cultures initiative. These projects may focus internationally by expanding Americans understanding of other places, historical periods, perspectives, and intellectual traditions, or they may focus within the United States by exploring the wide range of cultural influences and subcultures that shape American society. Bridging Cultures projects can also examine how people have tried to overcome cultural divides, including themes related to civility and civic discourse.
