NEH Supports Public Scholars

摘要

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) will award $1.7 million in grants to 36 writers through its Public Scholar program, it announced on July 29. Open to authors of scholarly nonfic-tion, whether affiliated with an academic institution or writing independently, the Public Scholar program offers a $4,200 monthly stipend for periods from six months up to one year. Its ultimate goal, according to NEH, is to "bring humanities scholarship beyond academic de- partments and university campuses and into book clubs and best sellers lists."
