Arts & Humanities Fellows
The annual selection of new fellows recognizes extraordinary scholarship and creativity among Texas A&M faculty members who are engaged in the humanities or the creative arts. A three-year fellowship supports significant advancement or completion of a major project, which may be at any stage of development. Applications must clearly articulate a project’s value to humanities scholars and general audiences.
About the Fellowships
- Each fellowship includes a three-year grant of $15,000 to support scholarship in the humanities or creative work in the arts.
- Fellows may use their funds as needed to advance or complete their projects.
- All forms of scholarly research and creative projects are supported. However, the fellowship does not support teaching activities, such as preparing textbooks or developing curriculum.
- The program publicizes fellows and their projects through an online showcase of animated shorts.
