The Spotlight on Humanities in Higher Education program supports the exploration and development of small projects that would benefit underserved populations through the teaching and study of the humanities. Eligible applicants include small- to medium-size two- and four year institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations whose work advances the humanities at these institutions and among their faculty and students. NEH especially welcomes applications from Native American and Indigenous institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, minority-serving institutions, community colleges, rural colleges and universities, schools that have a majority-minority undergraduate enrollment, and those that serve significant numbers of first-generation and nontraditional students.
The program supports activities such as curricular or program development, expert consultations, speakers’ series, student research, creation of teaching resources, and community engagement. Projects may benefit students, faculty, the institution or organization, and/or the community.
Funding levels
You may request support at one of two levels: Exploration or Development. You should apply for the level appropriate to your project. You are not required to receive an Exploration award prior to applying at the Development level.

The result of an Exploration award will be a project ready to enter the development stage.
- Development: They support divisions, departments, programs, and/or humanities nonprofit organizations in advancing a single, well-defined project (or one stage of a larger project) that would significantly enrich humanities teaching and learning at colleges and universities.
