Name: The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship Grant
Award Amount: Up to $60,000
Information And Eligibility:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship Grant is one of the most prestigious federal funding opportunities available to scholars working in the humanities. This fellowship is designed to support individuals pursuing advanced, original research that contributes meaningfully to humanistic knowledge and public understanding. NEH Fellowships allow recipients to devote sustained, uninterrupted time to research, writing, translation, or preparation of significant scholarly works that advance fields such as history, philosophy, literature, religious studies, ethics, cultural studies, archaeology, and related disciplines.
Unlike institutional grants, NEH Fellowships are awarded directly to individuals, making them especially valuable for independent scholars, faculty members, and researchers who need protected time away from teaching or administrative responsibilities. Fellowship funds may be used to replace salary, cover living expenses, or support travel and research costs directly related to the proposed project. Projects may result in books, scholarly articles, digital humanities projects, translations, or other substantial contributions to the humanities.
Applicants must demonstrate not only the intellectual merit of their proposed research, but also its broader significance to the humanities community and, where applicable, to public audiences. NEH places strong emphasis on clarity, feasibility, and scholarly rigor. Successful proposals clearly explain research questions, methodology, sources, and expected outcomes in language accessible to both specialists and informed general readers.
NEH Fellowships are highly competitive and nationally recognized. Past recipients often include leading scholars whose work shapes academic discourse, public policy conversations, museum exhibitions, and educational curricula. Receiving an NEH Fellowship is widely viewed as a career-defining achievement and can significantly enhance professional credibility, publication opportunities, and long-term research trajectories.
