Visiting Scholar Fellowship 2025–2026 UConn Humanities Institute Due February 1 Visiting Humanities Fellows receive a stipend of $50,000, which is often paid directly to the fellows’ home institution, which allows them to maintain their normal salary while being relieved of teaching duties. Additionally, visiting fellows receive faculty library privileges, an office in the UCHI suite, and assistance in locating housing. They are expected to participate in Institute activities including fellows’ teas, colloquia, grant workshops, and related scholarly events. Visiting Humanities Fellows will also offer a public talk on their research during the course of the fellowship year. Applicants must have held the Ph.D. for four years. Independent scholars and writers must have an advanced record of professional accomplishment, which does not include research and publications completed during graduate school. Tenure normally covers an uninterrupted period of nine to ten whole months. Fellows are required to be in residence for the academic year. Ordinarily, fellowships run from late August through May. Fellowship recipients will not be allowed to defer a UCHI fellowship. Finally, Visiting Humanities Fellows are expected to acknowledge the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute in publications resulting from work supported by the Institute.
