About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering the Public Scholars grant program, which provides funding to individual authors for research, writing, travel, and other activities leading to the creation and publication of well-researched nonfiction books in the humanities. The program targets books written for broad public audiences, rather than academic publications. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or foreign nationals who have lived in the U.S. for at least three years, and must have previously published a nonfiction book or at least three nonfiction articles. The application deadlines are August 28, 2024, and August 6, 2025, with award announcements expected in April 2025 and April 2026 respectively.
The Public Scholars program offers grants ranging from $30,000 to $60,000 ($5,000 per month) for projects lasting six to twelve months. NEH anticipates funding approximately 25 awards per deadline, totaling around $1.5 million. The program is part of the Promotion of the Humanities Fellowships and Stipends (CFDA 45.160) and is administered by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
