The humanities focus on exploring what it means to be human, allowing us to better understand and share their experiences, values, and dreams.

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.
