Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, accredited higher education institutions, state/local governments, and federally recognized Native American Tribal governments. The program offers two funding levels: Exploration (up to $30,000 for up to 1 year) and Development (up to $60,000 for up to 2 years). The application deadline is October 1, 2024, and the anticipated award announcement is in April 2025. Projects must start between June 1 and September 1, 2025.

NEH anticipates awarding approximately $1 million among an estimated 25 recipients.

Synopsis

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Education Programs is accepting applications for the Spotlight on Humanities in Higher Education program. This program supports small projects that help students from underserved populations gain access to and benefit from the humanities. Projects must enhance the teaching and study of the humanities at one or more colleges and universities that enroll fewer than 10,000 undergraduate students and that belong to at least one of the following categories: community colleges, minority-serving institutions, rural colleges and universities, or colleges and universities with more than 40% of students receiving Pell grants. These institutions, nonprofit organizations, and state, local, or Native American Tribal governments aiming to advance the humanities at these institutions are eligible to apply.
