Instructions for Completing the Acceptance Form

The acceptance form is used to accept an NEH summer stipend and to indicate the exact dates of your award tenure.  You should retain a copy of the completed form for your records and notify the Summer Stipends Program whenever you make modifications to the arrangements agreed to by the NEH.  The acceptance form must include the following information:

BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION: The acceptance form does NOT request banking information for direct deposit of your award payments.  Once NEH receives your completed and signed acceptance form, you will be sent two official award documents by e-mail: an award letter and a Notice of Action indicating a payment date.  The latter includes instructions for submitting your banking information to NEH.
