2025 Fellowships are now available! Please see the “About Our 2025 Fellowships” section.
Our summer Fellowship program provides individual humanities researchers with access to funding opportunities in North Carolina’s higher education sector. Fellowships are designed to allow recipients the opportunity to step away from their busy workloads and complete or further research for up to two consecutive summer months.
North Carolina Humanities Fellowships are only available to individuals.
About Our 2025 Fellowships
Fellowships support continuous full or part-time work on a humanities project for summer months June-July. Funds support recipient’s compensation related to the proposed scholarly research. Funding requests may be up to $8,000.
