Dear Slugs,
Due: November 24th, 2025
Applications are open for UC Santa Cruz students to apply for a THI Undergraduate Research Fellowship at The Humanities Institute. These fellowships support undergraduate research projects in the humanities. Up to 10 awards in the amount of $1000 each are given each year. There are no constraints on the expenditure of the stipend. The top proposal receives the Bertha N. Melkonian prize, an additional $1000.
Eligibility:
Any project involving research within or including any of the humanities disciplines is eligible for consideration. All majors are welcome to apply. Students from Arts and Social Sciences are eligible as well, as long as they are working in the humanities fields. Proposals must be for research to be performed during the 2025-2026 academic year.
Applicants need a letter of support from a faculty sponsor.
