Summer Stipends support projects at any stage of development.

Summer Stipends are awarded to individual scholars. Organizations are not eligible to apply.

Notice of Internal Competition

Deadline Monday, September 10^th at 9 am

The University of Michigan – Flint Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, in conjunction with the Research and Creative Activity Committee, would like to announce an upcoming limited submission funding opportunity competition.  The National Endowment for the Humanities offers a Summer Stipend program for individual scholars in the Humanities disciplines.  The program allows only one faculty member per organization to apply for funding each year. Therefore the UM – Flint Office of Research and the Research and Creative Activity Committee will hold an internal competition to select an applicant for the upcoming NEH deadline.

The Summer Stipend program provides $6,000 to individual scholars for two months of full time effort during the summer. If you’d like more information about the NEH Summer Stipend program, please follow this link to the full announcement:
