Applications are open for NEH Landmark Programs

NEH offers tuition-free opportunities for K-12 educators and higher education faculty to study a variety of humanities topics. Stipends of $1,300-$3,450 for residential programs and $650-$1,725 for virtual programs help cover expenses for these one- to four-week programs. The application period for all programs closes on March 3, 2023.

From everyone I've talked to, these programs are amazingly exciting and invigorating. They are also competitive, so you'll want to give yourself time to pull together a good application. Most programs reserve a few spots for early career educators. They also look for geographic diversity, which gives Montanans an advantage when applying to programs outside our region. 

You can see the full list of opportunities here, but these are a few that caught my eye:
