Fellowships

The Humanities Institute (HI) Fellows program advances the scholarly writing and research of humanities faculty. The program includes two course releases, research funding, peer writing groups, and development of a cross-humanities faculty community. Additionally, the program assists faculty in grant writing and writing for a broad public.

Successful proposals for the fellow’s program describe a well-developed scholarly writing project rooted in the humanities that has clear and feasible outcomes for the fellowship year and that has the potential to be funded by outside agencies.

The fellowship will run through the 2025-26 academic year. The Fellowship provides funds for two-course releases and an additional $2,000 for research.

InfoReady application portal opens on November 1; applications are due on January 20, 2025
