Updated January 2015 EXTERNAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES OPEN TO GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE HUMANITIES and HUMANITIES-ORIENTED SOCIAL SCIENCES It is our hope that this list of fellowships and grant opportunities will help you to determine which external agencies might fund your current project, find more information about the application process by visiting agency websites, and then develop a timeline of planned applications sorted by deadline that you can use to stay on-track for developing your proposals in a timely manner. To navigate, keep the document in layout view, scroll to the table of contents, then click on the page number of the agency or program in which you’re interested. This will take you directly to that entry. If you then wish to learn more, click on the agency’s website address (URL), which you will find near the bottom of the entry. If clicking doesn’t work, copy the URL, paste it into the address line of your web browser, and type return. Always check for new, more detailed application information on any opportunity in which you’re interested. Humanities and area studies centers sometimes have shifting themes and agency programs, application requirements, deadlines, and focus areas are subject to change. Verify deadlines and other critical information by visiting the sponsoring institution’s website or contacting the agency via e-mail or telephone prior to beginning an application. This is especially true for agencies that had not posted new deadlines when we updated this list (we’ve noted such cases on the list). Most agencies have deadlines only once each year and take from three to six months to announce results. Therefore, think long-term when planning your grant/fellowship application strategies. Preparing a viable proposal takes effort, organization, and effective time management, so please do give yourself the time you will need to develop a competitive proposal. For fellowships, that means starting the process at least eight weeks before the deadline, preferably longer; for institutional proposals it is at least six months before the deadline. Please also keep in mind that the internal deadline is always one workweek (five working days) prior to the agency’s deadline. Although this list is extensive, it is not exhaustive. If you know of sources we have not included that you believe will appeal to a broad spectrum of humanities and social sciences graduate students, please let us know. We’re always seeking to add new funding sources to this list.

Amount: up to $18,000. Application is allowed via the NSF’s FastLane system or the federal government’s grants.gov system. NOTES: 1.

Daniel Coonfield, (dcoonfie@ku.edu) at KUCR, can set up your FastLane access. 3. Since this is an institutional proposal, if you’re doing qualitative work in cultural geography, cultural anthropology or any area of the social sciences, the HGDO can assist you and your advisor with these applications. Those of you doing highly quantitative empirical work should seek assistance from the KU research center most 19 akin to your work.
