Arts & Humanities Fellows
The Arts & Humanities Fellowship invites applications from scholars in all humanities and creative arts disciplines pursuing exceptional research. Its goal is to support the advancement or completion of major scholarly or creative work and enhance external fellowship success. Projects at any stage are welcome, but applications must clearly convey the project's value to both scholars and general audiences.
About the Fellowships
- Standard Fellowships provide a three-year grant of $15,000 to support scholarship in the humanities or creative work in the arts.
- Emerging Technologies: Perspectives from the Arts & Humanities Fellowships support artistic and humanistic research that explores the relationships between technology and society.
- Single-researcher projects in the Emerging Technologies category will receive $10,000 in the first year of a two-year fellowship.
- Collaborative projects with two or more co-directors, contributing equally, will receive $15,000 in the first year of the two-year fellowship.
- Fellows may use their funds without restriction to advance or complete their projects. However, teaching activities, such as preparing textbooks or developing curriculum, are not supported.
