Fellows’ Fellowship

Created through the generosity of dozens of NHC Fellows and a handful of trustee benefactors, the Fellows’ Fellowship has been awarded annually since 2012. It is unique among fellowships of this kind as it serves as a gift to future colleagues from those who have previously benefited from a fellowship at the National Humanities Center.
