The National Humanities Center invites applications for academic-year or
semester-long residential fellowships. Fellows enjoy private studies, in-house
dining, and the exceptional service of NHC librarians to access and acquire
all types of research materials while in residence. Our independent
endowment ensures that Fellows have the time and freedom to work on what
they choose.
Mid-career, senior, and emerging scholars with a strong record of peer-
reviewed work from all areas of the humanities are encouraged to apply. To
qualify, applicants must have received a PhD or equivalent scholarly
credentials five years prior to applying. Scholars from all parts of the globe
are welcome; stipends and travel expenses are provided.
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. ET, October 1, 2026. For more
