Details:
The humanities focus on exploring what it means to be human, allowing us to better understand and share our experiences, values, and dreams. For many, access to the humanities began in college, where scholars and thought-leaders challenged us to think creatively and critically, to reason, and to ask questions. Florida Humanities strives to support their colleagues-in-the-humanities at universities and colleges spark constructive dialogue by bolstering their engaging humanities programming and increasing accessibility to diverse audiences both within and beyond the campus community for the greater good.
All Projects Must:
- Inspire constructive dialogue with the public.
- Involve humanities scholars and other subject-area experts.
- Be free and widely available to the public (even virtually).
- Actively engage a diverse audience, within and beyond the campus community.

Eligibility Criteria
- Higher Education departments (i.e. Department of History), Humanities Centers, Institutes, and Programs associated with Florida colleges and universities are eligible to apply. While an overarching institution may have multiple applications, only one application per Department or Program is accepted per round. For example, while there might be two open applications from a university, they must not be from the same department (i.e. Department of History).
- Eligible programs may include, but are in no means limited to town halls, reading and discussion groups, exhibits (in-person and virtual) with public programing, community conversations, lecture and speaker series, or other engaging public humanities programming.
- Eligible applicant organizations must note:
- A Federal-ID number is required to apply.
- Have a Unique Entity ID (SAM) to apply.
