Each year, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) funds summer institutes for teachers.
These are tuition-free opportunities for K-12 educators to study a variety of humanities topics. Stipends of $1,200-$3,300 help cover expenses for these programs, which vary in length from one to four weeks. The deadline to apply is March 1, 2020. The institutes featured below are a few of the ones that could be of interest to people’s history educators.
