Humane Studies Fellowship

The Humane Studies Fellowship provides up to $5,000 to support students completing major research projects, presenting their work at top conferences, and publishing their work in major journals. This award is intended to foster those key projects which maximize a recipient’s research impact and career prospects. These awards give you access to other IHS opportunities including job market support, in-person and online events, and much more.

Awardees are expected to submit copies of research completed, presented, submitted for review, or published during the fellowship period when and as available. Awardees will also provide updates on significant progress made during the fellowship period.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants will be notified of their award within eight weeks of submission.
