NEH Summer Stipends
Each year the Faculty Development Committee may select one faculty member to be the College's nominees for the $8000 National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend.
NEH Summer Stipends support individuals pursuing advanced research that contributes to scholarly knowledge or to the public’s understanding of the humanities. Recipients usually produce scholarly articles, monographs on specialized subjects, books on broad topics, site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly tools.
The Summer Stipends program provides $8,000 to support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of performance of two consecutive months. Projects may begin as early as May 1. Recipients must work full-time on their projects for these two months and may hold other research grants supporting the same project during this time. Summer stipends normally support work carried out during the summer months, but arrangements can be made for other times of the year.
This nominee must then make an application directly to NEH.
For details on the NEH Summer Stipend, please refer to the NEH website: neh.gov/grants/research/summer-stipends.
To apply to be a Kenyon College nominee, please submit the FDC application form along with your proposal narrative and your vita (limited to 2 pages) as an email attachment to FDCgrants@kenyon.edu.
You must meet NEH eligibility requirements. Your narrative should respond the NEH guidelines: neh.gov/grants/research/summer-stipends
Applicants teaching part-time or with appointments terminating by the summer of the current academic year may apply directly to NEH without nomination.
Kenyon nominees must register with Grants.gov as individuals and create a username and password. NEH strongly recommends that you complete or verify your registration at least two weeks before the application deadline, as it takes time for your registration to be processed.
