The National Endowment for the Humanities’ (NEH) Summer Stipends program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication. The program works to accomplish this goal by:
- Providing small awards to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both
- Supporting projects at any stage of development, but especially early-stage research and late-stage writing in which small awards are most effective
- Furthering the NEH’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the humanities by encouraging applications from independent scholars and faculty at Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and community colleges
The six-thousand ($6,000) Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.
Faculty Success is accepting nominations for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipend Program for projects. These awards provide support to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Typical outcomes include articles monographs, book, digital materials, archeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources. UNT has the opportunity to nominate up to two faculty members for the summer stipend awards.

Full-time tenure/tenure-track faculty members are eligible to apply. Development leaves and grants from the University of North Texas and stipends and grants from other sources supporting study and research during the summer are not considered major fellowships.
