The University of Connecticut Humanities Institute (UCHI) invites applications for 2025–26 residential fellowships.

During this time of global change and uncertainty, UCHI seeks to mobilize the humanities as a revitalizing force for our academic communities, national conversations, and global commitments. With year-long fellowships offering a $50,000 stipend, an office, and all the benefits of a R1 university, UCHI equips scholars to engage in these crucial undertakings and hone their research in a vibrant, interdisciplinary community of fellows. Fellows enjoy the full use of UConn’s research facilities, museums, archives, and special collections, as well as easy access to Hartford, Boston, and New York City. UCHI fosters a rich intellectual environment for scholars to create, connect, and recommit to the urgency of the humanities. Fellows are expected to participate in UCHI’s scholarly events, attend our grant workshops, and are required to give a public talk.

Fellowships are open to humanities researchers, including professors, independent scholars, writers, and museum and library professionals.

Application materials must be received by 11:59 pm (EST) on February 1, 2025.
