Description
The National Humanities Center welcomes fellowship applications from scholars engaged in advanced humanities research regardless of citizenship or national origin. Each year, several scholars from countries other than the United States come to the Center, in North Carolina, as part of the cohort of Fellows and contribute to the rich intellectual and diverse environment of the fellowship program. In addition to all fields of the humanities, the Center accepts applications from scholars in the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions and public life who are engaged in humanistic projects.
During their time in residence, Fellows are given the freedom to work on their projects while benefiting from the exceptional services of the Center. The stunning Archie K. Davis building offers private studies, light-filled common areas, and verdant grounds. The Center also provides scholars with exceptional library services, breakfasts, and lunches in the dining area, and administrative support in organizing seminars and study groups.
Eligibility
- Applicants must have earned a doctorate or equivalent scholarly credentials at least five years prior to applying. Mid-career and senior scholars are encouraged to apply. Emerging scholars with a strong record of peer-reviewed work may also apply. The NHC does not fund post-docs; the applicant must be working on a significant project beyond their dissertation and have published at least one single-authored book or a substantial body of peer-reviewed scholarship.
- All candidates must be engaged in scholarly research that will result in publication.
- Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
In addition to scholars from all fields of the humanities, the Center accepts individuals from the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions and public life who are engaged in humanistic projects. For more details on eligibility see the National Humanities Center Fellowship's FAQ webpage.
Prize
The stipend amounts for Fellows are individually determined, according to the needs of the scholars and the Center’s ability to meet them.
The Center seeks to provide half salary with the expectation that the Fellow’s home institution covers the remaining salary. Other grants or institutional support that Fellows will receive during their fellowship may also reduce the amount of the Center’s stipend.
Deadlines
If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.
