Institute for Humane Studies fellowship

[Nofia]

The deadline for this passed already for this year, but I'm curious if anyone applied for an IHS fellowship? Or has anyone applied in the past? its one of the only fellowships in the humanities that I could find that offers funding for PhD students who aren't ABD already...I applied, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works out.

I applied for it. Haven't heard anything back yet. In past years, some winners have complained of getting very little actual money (a couple thousand), but I would be pleased with any extra dollars at this point.

yeah, I think if you have any other funding from your school, IHS cuts the amount of the fellowship to something very nominal, but I, like you, would be happy with anything extra ;-).

Anyone applied or heard back from them this year?

Nope, I saw somewhere on the website that the date they would announce their decisions is May 1st. Did you get invited to one of their summer seminars?

Did you receive notification already?

Did anyone apply this year? I did.

I applied as well but I was so sick when writing my "freedom" things that I doubt that I will be getting anything.    Also I am rather bummed out about not hearing back before may 1st.  That's a very long time..

I applied too. I am a literature guy, I don't know that they give money to literature students, but I thought it worth the try anyways, ya never know. But yes, May 1 seems a lone time away....
