Opportunity Summary:
The Summer Stipends program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) designed to fund individual scholars who want dedicated time to carry out advanced humanities research. The core purpose is to support work that will matter to humanities specialists, the broader public, or both, and it is meant to help scholars make meaningful progress on a project by providing a focused period free from other obligations. Projects can be at any stage, from early exploration and source gathering to drafting, revising, or preparing materials for publication or dissemination.
Funding is structured as a short, intensive research award that supports continuous full-time work for two months during the summer. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $6,000, with no stated minimum award level (award floor listed as $0). The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically means applicants are not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the stipend. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program aligns with CFDA number 45.160, Promotion of the Humanities (Fellowships and Stipends), reflecting its emphasis on scholarly contribution rather than institutional programming.
Eligible applicants are individuals only. The opportunity is explicitly aimed at individual scholars, and organizations are not eligible to apply. NEH notes that typical outcomes from funded projects include scholarly articles, monographs and books, digital humanities materials, archaeological site reports, translations, critical editions, and other resources that strengthen humanities research and public knowledge. This makes the program suitable for a wide range of humanities disciplines and formats, including traditional print scholarship and digital or field-based work.
