Offering support programs for UB graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in the humanities or humanities-adjacent areas of study, HI provides a variety of funding opportunities for scholarship both on- and off-campus.
Humanities Institute Opportunities for Graduate Students
The Humanities Institute awards two $12,000 PhD Fellowships per academic year. Fellows meet for works-in-progress seminars to gain interdisciplinary perspectives on their research.
The Judith B. Kerman Graduate Fellowship has been established to explore the influence of technological change on the ways humans live and think. The Humanities Institute will award one $12,000 fellowship (biennial, offered every other year) to a graduate student engaged in humanities-based research that examines the impact of new technologies in different societies and historical periods including our own.
The Humanities Institute provides support for at least two PhD students to attend the Futures of American Studies Institute at Dartmouth College, held annually in June.
