Increased Stipends for NEH Summer Grants

The National Endowment for the Humanities has announced the Summer Stipend awards for 2009. The grants have increased to $6,000, and there is a new method of applying. Regular faculty members must be nominated by their institution, but each institution can nominate up to two faculty members. Adjunct or part-time faculty and independent scholars may apply for the grants without nomination. The deadline for application is October 1, 2008.
