National Humanities Center Residential Fellowships 2027–28 | Call for Applications Fellowships and Scholarships

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 information about the NHC fellowship experience, eligibility requirements, or to apply, please visit https://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/residential-fellowships/
