NEH Challenge Grant Internal Competition
Internal Deadline: October 03, 2003
Institutions are invited to submit one application. An internal competition will decide which application will be submitted by UM. NEH Deadlines: Either November 3 or May 6 (only one date per institution).
NEH challenge grants help institutions and organizations secure long-term improvements in and support for their humanities programs and resources. Awards are made to museums, public libraries, colleges, research institutions, historical societies and historic sites, public television and radio stations, universities, scholarly associations, state humanities councils, and other nonprofit entities to improve the quality of their humanities activities and their financial stability. Through these awards, many are able to transform their humanities capacity and secure permanent support from an endowment.
