External Grants and Fellowships

The Willson Center encourages faculty to take advantage of external funding opportunities, including the grants and fellowships listed below. Further details are available at the links. Please verify deadlines and application details as some deadlines and program guidelines are updated or revised during the year.

The Willson Center Research Fellowship guidelines (and deadline) align with those of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and National Humanities Center (NHC) fellowship programs. Applicants are encouraged to submit applications to the ACLS and the NHC, which have deadlines in September and October, respectively. Faculty are also encouraged to apply for the NEH Fellowship in the spring.

We offer a guide to funding and other resources for post-doctoral and graduate students in the humanities and arts, here.

The Willson Center will also provide support in reviewing external proposal drafts. If you would like your proposal reviewed, please submit your draft to wcha@uga.edu at least four weeks in advance of the deadline. If you have questions about a specific fellowship that you would like to discuss, please contact the Willson Center.

Some agencies also offer review of proposal drafts. Check with individual agencies for further details and draft review deadlines if offered.
