Summer 2012
Application Deadline: March 1, 2012 (postmark)
Website: http://www.neh.gov//projects/si-university.html
Each year the NEH’s Division of Education Programs offers teachers opportunities to study
a variety of humanities topics in Summer Seminars and Institutes. Please contact the specific
projects listed below for more information about the programs and the application process.
Amount of Award
NEH Summer Scholars are awarded fixed stipends to help cover travel costs, books and other
research expenses, and living expenses. Stipend amounts are based on the length of the NEH
Summer Seminar or Institute: $2,100 (2 weeks), $2,700 (3 weeks), $3,300 (4 weeks), or $3,900
(5 weeks).
Eligibility
NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes are designed primarily for teachers of American
undergraduate students. Qualified independent scholars and those employed by museums,
libraries, historical societies, and other organizations may be eligible to compete, provided they
can effectively advance the teaching and research goals of the project.
You may request information about as many projects as you like, but you may apply to no more
than two NEH Summer Programs (seminars, institutes, or Landmarks Workshops) and you may
attend only one.
Please note:
Adjunct faculty, community college faculty, and first-time participants are encouraged to apply.
