Each year the National Humanities Center offers 40 residential fellowships for advanced study. The Jessie Ball duPont Fund has made underwriting available to support a fellowship for one scholar from duPont-eligible schools. Applicants for this award are considered in the Center's general fellowship competition. Like all applicants, they must hold a doctorate or have equivalent scholarly credentials. A record of publication is expected. Both senior and younger scholars are eligible for fellowships, but the latter should be engaged in research well beyond the revision of a doctoral dissertation. Fellowships are for the academic year (September through May). Scholars from the natural and social sciences, the arts, and professions, as well as from all fields of the humanities, are eligible. Applications and letters of recommendation must be postmarked by October 15.
