Get matched →The Public Humanities Fellowships support writers, independent scholars, community historians, and faculty members who share meaningful research, stories, and cultural expressions relevant to Virginia's diverse communities. Since 1974, more than 400 fellowships have been awarded for projects helping Virginians better understand the state, Virginia's role in the world, and each other.
All Public Humanities Fellows receive a $15,000 stipend to support a four-month project.
Fellows receive access to the University of Virginia's library system and archives at the Library of Virginia. They become part of a community of fellows working on innovative humanities topics and may participate in programs such as With Good Reason radio show and podcast, Virginia Festival of the Book's Shelf Life, and the Library of Virginia's UncommonWealth blog.
Preference will be given to projects that engage the public in meaningful and creative ways and explore public humanities topics related to history, literature, religion, and community stories.
