About NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes
Each summer, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports
rigorous national, residential seminars and institutes in the humanities for
faculty who teach American undergraduates.
These study opportunities allow college and
university teachers to gain a deeper knowledge of
current scholarship in key fields of the humanities
and advance their own teaching and research.
Participants in these two- to six-week projects
receive stipends to help defray travel and living expenses.
