The Massachusetts Historical Society will award two long-term MHS-NEH fellowships for the academic year 2012-2013. MHS-NEH fellowships are made possible by an award from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agency. The stipend, governed by an NEH formula, will be $4,200 per month for a minimum of four months and a maximum of twelve months. The Society will supplement each stipend with a housing allowance of up to $500 per month.
MHS-NEH fellowships are open to U.S. citizens and to foreign nationals who have lived in the United States for at least the three years immediately preceding the application deadline. Applicants must have completed their professional training, ordinarily including an earned doctorate; NEH-sponsored fellowships are not available to graduate students.

Application deadline: January 15, 2012.
