Each summer the National Endowment for the Humanities supports a variety of
study opportunities in the humanities for faculty who teach American
undergraduates. Seminars and institutes are national, residential, and
rigorous. Designed to strengthen the quality of the humanities teaching and
scholarship, they are led by some of the nation's outstanding scholars and
take place at major colleges and universities and archival facilities across
the United States and abroad.
Topics considered among the 29 seminars and institutes during the summer of
the year 2003 include the Civil Rights Movement, the Risorgimento, British
Romantic fiction, the English Reformation, Pacific Island cultures, and
major figures such as Emerson, Aristotle, Leibniz, and Faulkner. For a
complete list of both seminars and institutes, go to the NEH Web site, or
phone (202/606-8463), or e-mail (sem-inst@neh.gov).

The listings contain seminar and institute titles and the means to contact
each director. Prospective applicants can request information from as many
seminar and institute directors as they wish but may apply to only two NEH
summer offerings.
In response to a request for information, seminar and institute directors
will send a letter describing the content, logistics, expectations, and
conditions of that project. Each letter will be accompanied by application
instructions as well as information about the program's costs. Participants
receive from the National Endowment for the Humanities a stipend based on
the length of the seminar or institute. Year 2003 stipends are $2,800 for
four weeks, $3,250 for five weeks, and $3,700 for six weeks and are intended
to help cover travel costs and living expenses, as well as books and
miscellaneous expenses.
Requests for information and completed applications should NOT be directed
to the National Endowment for the Humanities; they should be addressed to
the individual projects as found in the listings. The application deadline
is March 1.
