Ph.D. Students

Humanities Engage Funding Opportunities

As we re-imagine the Humanities Ph.D., Humanities Engage makes funding opportunities available for graduate students in the Arts and Humanities (to include History).

Annual Funding Competitions for Immersive Dissertation Research Fellowships - OPEN

These innovative research fellowships are a new, competitive, and prestigious mechanism with which we wish to incentivize and support dissertation projects that involve substantial professional development and will likely result in dissertation formats other than the conventional proto-monograph. Ph.D. students are required to embed themselves or otherwise collaborate intensively with institutions or communities as part of their research toward their Ph.D.

Curated Immersive Fellowship Summer 2024 - OPEN

Humanities Engage fosters experiential learning and immersive experiences for doctoral students across our arts and humanities programs in support of our mission to deepen and broaden all students’ intellectual and professional development, and make Humanistic careers across all employment sectors visible, valued, and viable.

Pitch Your Own Immersive Fellowship (Summer 2024) - OPEN

This funding opportunity supports immersive fellowships that Ph.D. students devise with 501(c)(3) organizations in the social impact sector, public sector institutions, or industry. To offer students maximum flexibility to integrate immersive fellowships with their individual programs of study and dissertation research, this program supports experiences designed collaboratively between a student and a prospective host organization that cannot pay, or cannot fully pay, graduate interns.

Curricular Development Opportunity for Ph.D. Students - OPEN

New Collections-Based Modules in Existing Undergraduate Courses. Applications will be reviewed, and stipends awarded, on a rolling basis and as long as resources last.
