Am I Eligible to Apply?

​

For those in higher education, we particularly welcome applications from early-career educators – those who have been teaching for three years or fewer and are non-tenured or not on the tenure track. We also invite applications from advanced graduate students who have reached candidacy in a doctoral program or are in the final year of a terminal degree program. 

​

Faculty and staff from other colleges in the City University of New York are also encouraged to apply. (Faculty from LaGuardia Community College, CUNY are ineligible because of the terms of the grant.)

​

Please note that the stipend is taxable as income.

​

For full-time CUNY faculty participating, payment will come in the form of summer salary rather than a stipend. 

​

You are eligible to apply if you are a:

• United States citizen, including those teaching abroad at U.S. chartered institutions and schools operated by the federal government; 

• resident of U.S. jurisdictions; or 

• foreign national who has been residing in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years immediately preceding the application deadline. 

 

You are not eligible to apply if you:

• are a foreign national teaching abroad 

• are related to the project director(s) 

• are affiliated with the applicant institution (employees, currently enrolled students, etc.) 

• have been taught or advised in an academic capacity by the project director(s) 

• are delinquent in the repayment of federal debt (taxes, student loans, child support payments, and delinquent payroll taxes for household or other employees) 

• have been debarred or suspended by any federal department or agency 

• have attended a previous NEH professional development project (Seminars, Landmarks, or Institutes) led by the project director(s) 

 

NEH does not require participants to have earned an advanced degree. 

​

In any given year, an individual may attend only one Institute or Landmarks workshop.

 

To be considered for selection, applicants must submit a complete application as indicated on the individual project’s website. Any questions about applications should be directed to the individual project team.
