ANNOUNCING: National Endowment for the Humanities (U.S.A.) Applications to Conduct an NEH Seminar or Institute in Summer 2003 Application Deadline: March 1, 2002. Each summer the National Endowment for the Humanities supports faculty development through residential seminars and institutes. These projects are designed to provide teachers from across the nation with the opportunity for intensive study of important texts and topics in the humanities.

They also promote active scholarship in the humanities in ways suited to teachers at all levels from grade school through college. Now is a good time to begin drafting a proposal to direct a seminar or institute, or to contact a colleague whom you think might be interested in developing a project.
