 	NEH Fellowships, 2003-2004
 
 	Application Deadline: May 1, 2002 
 
 	The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the competition
 for Fellowships for 2003-2004. These Fellowships provide opportunities
 for individuals to pursue advanced research in the humanities. Applicants
 may be faculty or staff members of colleges or universities or of primary
 or secondary schools. Scholars and writers working independently, in
 institutions such as museums, libraries, and historical associations, or
 in institutions with no connection to the humanities, also are eligible to
 apply.
 
 	NEH Fellowships support a variety of activities. Projects may
 contribute to scholarly knowledge, to the advancement of teaching, or to
 the general public understanding of the humanities. Award recipients
 might eventually produce scholarly articles, a book-length treatment of a
 broad topic, an archaeological site report, a translation, an edition, a
 database, or some other scholarly tool.
 
 	CITIZENSHIP: Applicants should be U.S. citizens, native residents
 of U.S. jurisdictions, or foreign nationals who have been legal residents
 in the U.S. or its jurisdictions for at least three years immediately
 preceding the application deadline.
 
 	ELIGIBILITY: Persons seeking support for work leading to a degree
 are not eligible to apply, nor are active candidates for degrees. Those
 who have successfully defended their dissertations and are waiting for the
 diploma are eligible if they submit a letter from the dean of the school
 attesting to that fact. See the eligibility criteria on the web site:
 http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/fellowships-stipends.html
 
 	TENURE AND STIPENDS: Tenure must cover an uninterrupted period of
 from six to twelve months. The earliest beginning date is January 1,
 2003, and the latest is the start of the spring term of the 2003-2004
 academic term, or April 1, 2004 for those who are not on an academic year
 schedule. Tenure periods for teachers must include at least one complete
 term of the academic year. A stipend of $40,000 will be awarded to those
 holding fellowships for a grant period of nine months to twelve months. A
 stipend of $24,000 will be awarded to those holding fellowships for a
 grant period of six months to eight months.
 
 	SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS: The Fellowships Program begins accepting
 applications on March 1, 2002. All applications must be received on or
 before May 1, 2002. Please note that the Program does not accept
 applications submitted by fax or e-mail. Applicants will be notified of
 the decisions on their applications by mid-December 2002.
