The National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipends competition supports two- and four-year college and university teachers and other humanists in their research and teaching by providing a stipend for two consecutive months of full-time study or research during the summer. The maximum stipend is $6,000. The University of Washington, Seattle campus, is be permitted to nominate two members of its full-time faculty. (Tacoma and Bothell campuses have independent processes.)

Application Instructions

Local Nomination Process: Instructions for Faculty

By Friday, August 7, 2015, please submit a draft of a detailed description for the proposed study, not to exceed three single-spaced pages, along with a two-page curriculum vitae. Send these documents electronically as MS Word or pdf files to my assistant, Barbara Mack, at barbmack@uw.edu. We also need an endorsement from your departmental chair, which needs to come directly from the chair to Barbara.

By Monday, August 24, 2015, I will notify the two faculty selected to submit full proposals. The nominees must enter their applications on-line directly to NEH by the final deadline of October 1, 2015. (Please send a copy of the final proposal to this office also). The nominees will be asked to enter two people who will provide letters of reference, and should enter Michael Shapiro, Divisional Dean of Humanities, as the institution’s nominating official. NEH will then send me an email asking me to confirm the UW Seattle nominations.
