Fellowships

Ping Chong

The Institute invites eligible University of Michigan Faculty and Graduate Students to apply for fellowships. Each year, the Institute also hosts a number of Visiting Fellows.

"My year at the Institute gave me the time and the resources to follow my nose, and dig into thinking related to my developing ideas."  Evan Chambers

"The interaction that has taken place here has been far and away the highlight of my fellowship."  David Schober

"The Institute's facilities are excellent, and above all, everyone on the staff was exceptionally helpful and supportive."  Victor Lieberman

"I found in my year as a Fellow how scholars from different traditions can approach the same questions so differently, and different questions through surprisingly similar means."  Colette Moore



Grants

The mini grant funding program for  the 2007-2008 academic year has been temporarily suspended.  Notification will be posted here when the program resumes.

Awarded on a revolving basis, these mini grants are a resource to help support a variety of initiatives in the humanities and the arts including, but not limited to, helping reading groups to purchase books, contributing to the costs of conferences, publication subvention for individuals, and special materials needs for artists and filmmakers. Typical grants range between $1,000 and $1,500, but the Institute will occasionally award larger amounts.
