Stipends

Teachers selected to participate this Institute will receive stipend of $2,100. Stipends are intended to help defray travel expenses to and from the project location, books and other research expenses, and ordinary living expenses. Stipends are taxable. Applicants should note that supplements will not be given in cases where the stipend is insufficient to cover all expenses.

Seminar and institute participants are required to attend all meetings and to engage fully as professionals in the work of the project. During the project's tenure,
they may not undertake teaching assignments or any other professional activities unrelated to their participation in the project. Participants who, for any reason, do not complete the full tenure of the project must refund a pro-rata portion of the stipend.

Participants are expected to attend and engage in all academic sessions and assignments for the full two-week institute.

At the end of the project's residential period, NEH Summer Scholars will be asked to submit online evaluations in which they review their work during the summer and assess its value to their personal and professional development. These evaluations will become part of the project's grant file.
