Deadline: Wednesday, November 2, 2022

Optional Draft: September 28, 2022

ABOUT: The Spotlight on Humanities in Higher Education program supports the exploration and development of small projects that would benefit underserved populations through the teaching and study of the humanities. Eligible applicants include small- to medium-size two- and four-year institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations whose work advances the humanities at these institutions and among their faculty and students. 

The Spotlight program supports activities such as curricular or program development, expert consultations, speakers’ series, student research, creation of teaching resources, and community engagement. Projects may benefit students, faculty, the institution or organization, and/or the community.

The Spotlight program features a simplified application and streamlined application process. You may request support at one of two levels: Exploration or Development. Each level supports different project types and has different performance periods and award ceilings. Applicants must specify only one project category for support.
