Description
The American Council of Learned Societies supports the creation and circulation of knowledge that advances understanding of humanity and human endeavors in the past, present, and future, with a view toward improving human experience.
Over the past century, ACLS has supported individual scholars and scholarly teams around the world in their pursuit of research with the potential to advance knowledge in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. Our current focus includes providing more pathways for those who have traditionally had less access to external research support and scholarly resources, including first-generation scholars, people from historically marginalized communities, and non-tenure track faculty.
ACLS is committed to ensuring that our fellowship and grant opportunities are accessible to excellent scholars working across the diverse landscape of higher education and beyond the academy. ACLS offers “office hours” for many programs where applicants can gain answers to questions about our competitions and the review process directly from our team of program officers.
We also host webinars on the latest opportunities and application best practices throughout the year. Each program has specific eligibility criteria designed to advance program goals. Please read the descriptions for each competition carefully and review their specific FAQs for more information on what types of applications are or are not eligible.
Please note: For programs that require a budget and are submitted through the institution (rather than awarded as a fellowship stipend), you must work with Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) for application review and submission: https://sponsoredprograms.illinois.edu/education-outreach/pre-award-shared-services-pass.
