Humanities Summer Stipends
Call for Applications – 2025 Humanities Summer Stipends
The Center for Humanities at Virginia Tech invites applications for two summer stipend funding opportunities. The required application materials are identical for both opportunities and applicants are encouraged to apply for both.
Opportunity #1: NEH Summer Stipends National Competition
(internal deadline: Thursday, September 5, 2024)
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) allows each university to nominate one faculty member to submit proposals for summer 2025 NEH humanities stipends ($8,000). The Virginia Tech Center for Humanities invites proposals from any eligible faculty member at Virginia Tech to be considered for nomination to the NEH’s national competition. The internal deadline is Thursday, September 5, 2024. The Center for Humanities will review the submitted proposals and authorize one nominee to submit their proposal to the NEH.
Full information about the NEH summer stipends national competition can be found here: https://www.neh.gov/grants/research/summer-stipends. Please note the NEH’s new eligibility rule: those who have previously held an NEH award in any of its programs for individuals may not apply for a Summer Stipend.
Proposals should follow the format and guidelines of the NEH Summer Stipends and contain the following:
- Narrative (max. 3 pages)
- Work plan (1 page)
- Bibliography (1 page)
- Resume (2 pages)
- Appendices (optional, depending on project)
Submit your proposal (as a single pdf) by clicking here: https://forms.office.com/r/Rrs2UnJkAc?origin=lprLink
Faculty applying to the NEH summer stipends opportunity are encouraged to apply also to the VT Center for Humanities summer stipend funding opportunity (see below). The application materials are identical.
