Virginia Humanities, the state humanities council headquartered at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, has announced a new fellowship open to Black, Indigenous, and other scholars of Color (BIPOC) affiliated with Virginia’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

These fellowships, made possible through a grant from the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation, will provide up to nine months of funding for scholars interested in the humanities and human-related social sciences, a release said.

To be eligible for the fellowship, applicants must be either a current doctoral student, alumnus, or a current member of the faculty at one of Virginia’s HBCUs, a release said. Predoctoral, postdoctoral, and both tenured and non-tenured academic faculty members are all invited to apply. Research topics must be based either in the humanities or the human-centered social sciences.

The deadline to apply is Friday, Jan. 7, 2022. To learn more, visit VirginiaHumanities.org/Fell...
