About this program
The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education administers the Javits Fellowships program (CFDA 84.170) to provide graduate fellowships for study in the arts, humanities, and social sciences to students of superior ability with demonstrated achievement and exceptional promise; the most recent grant award was disbursed on September 1, 2012.
This program is no longer active. No grant awards have been made since 2012—the most recent documented award is now 14 years old. The portfolio reflects historical activity through 2012, with 480 total awards spanning from 2001 onward. Activity peaked in 2010 with 85 awards, then declined sharply to 30 awards in 2011 and only 2 awards in 2012 before ceasing entirely. The program obligated $74 million in combined federal dollars across its lifetime.
The fellowships supported graduate study leading to doctoral degrees in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, and also supported master's degrees in fields where the master's is the terminal degree. All 480 awards in the portfolio were Project Grants, with funding from the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education accounting for 479 awards ($73.9 million). Recent awards ranged from roughly $39 thousand to $1.37 million per project grant, with typical multi-year completion periods. Representative awards from 2010–2011 include Project Grant P170B100007 for $1.337 million, Project Grant P170B110004 for $1.370 million, and Project Grant P170B070006 for $754 thousand.
