MHS-NEH Long Term Fellowships

The Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) will award at least two
long-term NEH fellowships for the academic year 2009-2010. MHS-NEH
fellowships are made possible by an award from the National Endowment
for the Humanities, an independent federal agency. The stipend, governed
by an NEH formula, will be no more than $40,000 for a term of six to
twelve months or $20,000 for a term of four to five months. The Society
will also supplement each stipend with a housing allowance of up to
$500.00 per month. MHS-NEH fellowships are open to U.S. citizens and to
foreign nationals who have lived in the United States for at least the
three years immediately preceding the application deadline. Applicants
must have completed their professional training; NEH-sponsored
fellowships are not available to graduate students. The awards committee
will give preference to candidates who have not held a long-term grant
during the three years prior to the proposed fellowship term.

Application deadline: January 15, 2009
