MHS-NEH Fellowships-The Massachusetts Historical Society will award at
least two long-term MHS-NEH fellowships for the academic year of
2006-2007. MHS-NEH fellowships are made possible by an award from the
National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agency.
The stipend, governed by an NEH formula, will be no more than $40,000
for a term of six to twelve months or $20,000 for a term of four to five
months. Within the constraints of the NEH's guidelines, the Society will
also supplement each stipend with a housing allowance of up to $500.00
per month. MHS-NEH fellowships are open to U.S. citizens and to foreign
nationals who have lived in the United States for at least the three
years immediately preceding the application deadline. Applicants must
have completed their professional training; NEH-sponsored fellowships
are not available to graduate students. The awards committee will give
preference to candidates who have not held a long-term grant during the
three years prior to the proposed fellowship term.  Application
deadline: January 15, 2006.
