          Summer Stipends provide support for faculty and staff
          members in universities and two-year, four-year, and
          five-year colleges, and for independent scholars and others
          working in the humanities to pursue two consecutive months
          of full-time independent study and research.  An applicant's
          project may be one that can be completed during the stipend
          period, or it may be part of a long-range endeavor.
 
          Academic applicants must be nominated by their institution.
          Each college and university in the United States and its
          jurisdictions may nominate three members of its faculty and
          staff for the Summer Stipends competition.  No more than two
          of the nominees should be in the early stages of their
          careers, that is, junior nominees; no more than two should
          be at a more advanced stage, that is, senior nominees.  In
          the Summer Stipends program, academic applicants who hold
          the rank instructor or assistant professor or who are at
          comparatively early stages of their careers are considered
          to be junior nominees.  Those holding the rank of associate
          professor or professor are considered to be senior nominees.
          Prospective applicants from academic institutions should
          become familiar with their institution's nomination
          procedures well in advance of the NEH application deadline.
          Non-faculty college and university staff who will not be
          teaching during the academic year in which the NEH
          application deadline occurs and academic applicants with
          appointments terminating by the summer following the NEH
          application deadline may apply without nomination.
          Independent scholars are eligible to apply without
          nomination.
 
          Recipients of previous stipends and major fellowships are
          subject to certain eligibility rules and should consult the
          program guidelines.
 
          Summer Stipends recipients may not hold major fellowships or
          grants during the tenure of their awards.  Summer Stipends
          normally support work carried out during the summer months,
          but arrangements can be made for holding tenure for other
          times of the year.  The stipend award for projects not
          requiring travel is $4,000.  For projects that require
          travel of a significant distance to an appropriate research
          collection, library, museum, or archive within the United
          States or abroad, the stipend is $4,750.
