Fellowship Details

• Maximum award: $60,000

The award term must begin between July 1, 2027, and July 1, 2028, and must be completed by December 31, 2028. At least six months of the award term must be completed consecutively. Any remaining months may be completed separately, provided they still fall between July 1, 2027, and December 31, 2028, and are taken with at most one interruption. (See FAQ for more information.) 
• The fellowship is open to scholars at all postdoctoral career stages, working on or off the tenure track, who have earned a PhD in the humanities or interpretive social sciences by the application deadline. Established scholars without a PhD may also be eligible. (See the FAQ for more information.)

• ACLS will begin accepting applications in July 2026. Completed applications must be submitted through the ACLS online fellowship and grant administration system (ofa.acls.org) no later than 5:00 PM Eastern Time, September 17, 2026.
