The Public Humanities Grant offers support for humanities graduate students as they explore the public application of their scholarly interests. Each Grantee designs and implements a public humanities project in collaboration with a community-based partner.
Applications for the 2024 award are now closed. Those interested in the grant are encouraged to review the FAQ and apply when the application reopens in January 2025.
