For nearly half a century, the National Humanities Center has supported the work of remarkable scholars to produce seminal research and who leave in their wake a profound legacy of knowledge that continues to have an impact.
This important work has been made possible through the vision and generosity of individuals and organizations, forging a tangible and lasting connection to NHC scholars and supporting the creation of new knowledge that will open fresh paths of inquiry, reshape fields, and change the world. The impact of these gifts is broad and impressive. Here you can learn of the visionary benefactors who made the work possible, as well as connect to individual scholars who have benefited from the resulting fellowships.
