Summer Fellows Program

The purpose of the NEH Summer Fellows Program is to acquaint promising college students in the humanities with the policies, programs, and operations of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Under the guidance of the agency's professional staff, fellows participated in the work of the Endowment for eleven weeks during the summer of 1999. Each fellow was assigned to one program division or office of the agency to assist in daily work and to undertake a special project. Summer Fellows also had opportunities to learn about the work of similar federal agencies and cultural institutions. One hundred and fifteen undergraduate humanities majors and graduate students in the humanities applied for seven fellowships. Each of the fellows received a $4,000 grant.
