Eligibility

Within the parameters listed below, individual researchers, teachers, and scholars eligible whether they have an institutional affiliation or not. Applicants holding tenured or tenure-track positions at institutions of higher education must be nominated by their institutions (unless they are exempt from this requirement) and must be selected through this limited submissions selection process.

U.S. citizens, whether they reside inside or outside the United States, are eligible. Foreign nationals who have lived in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the application deadline are also eligible. Foreign nationals who take up permanent residence outside the United States any time between the application deadline and the end of the period of performance will forfeit their eligibility. Leaving the U.S. on a temporary basis is permitted.

While you do not need to have an advanced degree, if you are currently enrolled in a degree granting program then you are ineligible. If you have satisfied all the requirements for a degree and are awaiting its conferral, you are eligible, but you must include a letter from the dean of the conferring school or their department chair attesting to your status as of the application deadline.

If you are tenured or on a tenure track and teach full time at an institution of higher education that is not exempt from nomination, your institution must nominate you to apply for a Summer Stipend.

You may apply without a nomination if you are:

• an independent scholar not affiliated with an institution of higher education
• a U.S. citizen teaching at a foreign institution
• non-tenure-track faculty at an institution of higher education
• a staff member, but not faculty, at an institution of higher education (you may not teach during the academic year preceding the award)
• community college faculty
• emeritus faculty
• a faculty member at an institution of higher education that is one of these federally recognized minority-serving institutions:
  • Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs)
  • Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions (ANNHs)
  • Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Institutions (NASNTIs)
  • Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs)
