The National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship is a long-term fellowship supporting scholarship in any field relevant to the Newberry's collection. Applicants must be United States citizens or foreign nationals with three continuous years' residence in the US. Having a PhD (or equivalent terminal degree) by the application deadline is required. Applicants must submit a Project Abstract describing the significance of their project; and a Project Description elaborating on the abstract and referencing specific published scholarship that their project will engage with. The description should also explain the relevance of certain Newberry collection materials to the project and include a plan of work. Three Letters of Recommendation, in English, that speak to the scholarly contribution of the proposed project, the value of a Newberry residency to the applicant, and the qualifications of the applicant must also be submitted. Long-term fellowships require three letters of recommendation. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
