Vanderbilt University may nominate two candidates for the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Summer Stipends program.
Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences or both. Eligible projects usually result in articles, monographs, books, digital materials and publications, archaeological site reports, translations or editions. Projects must incorporate analysis and not result solely in the collection of data. Summer Stipends provide $6,000 for continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. See the following humanities definitions from NEH to determine whether your project fits the guidelines.
Summer Stipends support projects at any stage of development. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research.
See the program page for more information. The site lists specific submission requirements and evaluation criteria used in selecting recipients and provides examples of application narratives.
