The dates and duration of each project are listed under each title.The application deadline is March 2, 2010 (postmark).

Amount of Award
All teachers selected to participate in an NEH seminar or institute will be awarded a fixed stipend based on the length of the seminar or institute to help cover travel costs, books and other research expenses, and living expenses: $2,100 (2 weeks), $2,700 (3 weeks), $3,300 (4 weeks), $3,900 (5 weeks), or $4,500 (6 weeks).

Eligibility
These projects are designed primarily for teachers of American undergraduate students. An applicant need not have an advanced degree in order to qualify. Adjunct and part-time lecturers are eligible to apply. Qualified independent scholars and those employed by museums, libraries, historical societies, and other organizations may be eligible to compete provided they can effectively advance the teaching and research goals of the seminar or institute.

New this year: Up to two seminar spaces and three institute spaces are reserved for current full-time graduate students in the humanities.

Applicants must be United States citizens, residents of U.S. jurisdictions, or foreign nationals who have been residing in the United States or its territories for at least the three years immediately preceding the application deadline. Foreign nationals teaching abroad at non-U.S. chartered institutions are not eligible to apply.

Selection committees for seminars and institutes are directed to give first consideration to applicants who have not participated in an NEH supported seminar, institute, or Landmarks workshop in the last three years.

New this year: An individual may apply to up to three projects in any one year (seminars, institutes or Landmarks workshops), but may participate in only one. Please note that Landmarks workshops are designed for community college faculty.

How to Apply
Please e-mail, phone, or send by U.S. Post a request for application information and expanded project descriptions to the seminar and institute directors listed; in some cases, these materials will also be available on project Web sites.
