Eligibility
These projects are designed for full time teachers including
home-schooling parents, but other K-12 school personnel, such
as librarians and administrators, may also be eligible to
apply, depending on the specific seminar or institute. Substitute
teachers or part-time personnel are not eligible. Applications
from teachers in public, private, and religiously affiliated
schools receive equal consideration.
Teachers at schools in the United States or its territorial
possessions or Americans teaching in foreign schools where
at least 50 percent of the students are American nationals
are eligible for this program. 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.
Applicants must complete the NEH application cover
sheet and provide all the information requested below
to be considered eligible. Individuals may not apply to study
with a director of a seminar or institute who is a current
colleague or a family member. Individuals must not apply to
seminars directed by scholars with whom they have previously
studied. Institute selection committees are advised that only
under the most compelling and exceptional circumstances may
an individual participate in an institute with a director
or a lead faculty member who has previously guided that individual’s
research or in whose previous institute or seminar he or she
has participated. An individual may apply to only one project
in any one year. Anyone found to have applied to more than
one project will be ineligible to participate in any seminar
or institute that year.
