Grant Description
Grants to USA and US Virgin Islands nonprofit historically Black colleges and universities to enhance the humanities curriculum. Applicants must complete required registrations prior to applying. Funding is intended for programs in a range of humanities-related fields. Eligible institutions are located in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, and the US Virgin Islands.
The purpose of this program is to strengthen the teaching and study of the humanities at institutions of higher education by developing new humanities programs, resources (including those in digital format), or courses that explore, interpret, and preserve the diversity of human cultures, ideas, and practices, past and present. NEH welcomes applications for projects that are modest in scope, duration, and budget, as well as applications for expansive, long-term projects. Projects may, but need not be, related to the cultural identity of the applicant institution. 
The Humanities Initiatives programs support activities such as:
  • Curriculum development
    • Developing and/or revising a course or set of courses (e.g., general education courses, honors courses or programs, capstone courses)
    • Creating teaching materials (e.g., course modules, readers, primary document collections, digital collections)
    • Planning and piloting a major, minor, or certificate program
  • Student enrichment
    • Developing frameworks for humanities-focused internship programs
    • Developing opportunities for hands-on, place-based, or experiential learning
  • Faculty development
    • Developing pedagogy or curriculum through shared reading programs
    • Organizing a series of guest speakers for faculty and community audiences
  • Partnerships
    • Creating bridge programs or dual enrollment programs between high school and college, or between community colleges and four-year institutions
    • Collaborating with museums or libraries to create teaching materials
    • Producing humanities programming for students and community members
