Individual Humanities Fellowships Grant

The Individual Humanities Fellowships support scholars for two consecutive months of full or part-time work on humanities projects, providing necessary compensation for their research efforts. To be eligible, applicants must commit to at least half-time work, ensuring a continuous performance period. This fellowship encourages diverse outputs, including articles, books, translations, and digital resources, with the North Carolina Humanities Council requesting samples of the completed work.

This summer fellowship opportunity supports continuous full or part-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. Funds support recipients’ compensation related to the proposed scholarly research.
Time Commitment:
The fellowships supports individuals who work between half time and full-time on their projects. You may combine part- and fulltime work, but you must work at least half time and the period of performance must be continuous. If you work full-time on your project, you must forgo teaching and other major activities. If you combine a part-time award with teaching, you must carry a reduced class load during the period of performance. Awards will be reduced to reflect the smaller time commitment when you work part time.
Expected Outputs of the Fellowship Include:
Archaeological Report; Article; Book; Digital Resource or Publication; Edition; Other Scholarly Resource; Translation; etc. NC Humanities will ask for samples of your outputs.
