NEH Fellowship-Resident Scholar Program

One nine-month fellowship is available for a postdoctoral scholar whose project relates to the humanities. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or have resided in the U.S. for three years.

The School for Advanced Research on the Human Experience (SAR) awards six Resident Scholar Fellowships each year to scholars who have completed their research and analysis and who need time to think and write about topics important to the understanding of humankind. Resident scholars may approach their research from the perspective of anthropology or from anthropologically informed perspectives in such fields as history, sociology, art, law, and philosophy. Both humanistically and scientifically oriented scholars are encouraged to apply. SAR provides Residents Scholars with an apartment and office, a stipend up to $40,000, library assistance, and other benefits during a nine-month tenure, from September 1 through May 31.
