About National Humanities Center
The National Humanities Center is a private, nonprofit institution for advanced study in the humanities located in North Carolina USA.
Purpose and Nature of Fellowships
The National Humanities Center offers 40 residential fellowships for advanced study in the humanities during the academic year, September 2010 through May 2011. Applicants must hold doctorate or equivalent scholarly credentials. Young scholars as well as senior scholars are encouraged to apply, but they must have a record of publication, and new Ph.D.s should be aware that the Center does not support the revision of a doctoral dissertation. In addition to scholars from all fields of the humanities, the Center accepts individuals from the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions, and public life who are engaged in humanistic projects. The Center is also international and gladly accepts applications from scholars outside the United States.
Areas of Special Interest
Most of the Center's fellowships are unrestricted. Several, however, are designated for particular areas of research. These include environmental studies and history; English literature; art history; French history, literature, or culture; Asian Studies; and theology.
Stipends
Fellowships are individually determined, the amount depending upon the needs of the Fellow and the Center's ability to meet them. The Center seeks to provide at least half salary and also covers travel expenses to and from North Carolina for Fellows and their dependents.
Deadline and Application Procedures
Deadline for the application is October 15, 2009. Further details of these fellowships and the details about application procedure are given on the center's website and can be accessed through the following link:
