Virginia Foundation for the Humanities Residential Fellowships for 2013-2014

 

The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities in Charlottesville, Va.,

offers residential fellowships to scholars in the humanities. We seek

proposals for projects that are intellectually stimulating,

imaginative, and accessible to the public. We welcome proposals on

subjects of public interest in any area of the humanities and currently

encourage proposals on literature, religious studies, and the history

and culture of the South Atlantic region. We invite proposals on

subjects that complement VFH programs on violence; folklife; and

African American, Virginia Indian, and other cultures and communities.

 

Fellows have private offices with free parking at the Virginia

Foundation for the Humanities, located on a scenic property several

miles from the University of Virginia. They hold visiting faculty

privileges at the University of Virginia and have access to all UVa

research and recreational facilities. UVa library books are delivered

directly to the VFH. Although housing is not provided, there are many

reasonably priced options available in and around Charlottesville.

 

We offer stipends up to $15,000 per semester; summer Fellows receive

travel or housing funds only. Residencies may be for a semester, an

academic year, or a summer term. Applicants need not have advanced

degrees, but we do not support work toward a degree, nor do we

typically support dissertation revisions. Former VFH Fellows must wait

three years before applying for another fellowship.

 

The application deadline for 2013-14 is Dec. 1, 2012. Applications are

accepted online.

Spencer, VFH Fellowship Program, at aspencer@virginia.edu.
