The National Humanities Center will offer up to 40 residential fellowships for advanced study in the humanities for the period September 2021 through May 2022. Applicants must have a doctorate or equivalent scholarly credentials. Mid-career scholars as well as senior scholars are encouraged to apply. Emerging scholars with a strong record of peer-reviewed work may also apply. The Center does not support the revision of doctoral dissertations. The Center is international in scope and welcomes applications from scholars outside the United States.
In addition to scholars from all fields of the humanities, the Center also accepts applications from individuals in the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions, and public life provided those projects are informed by and significantly contribute to humanities scholarship.
