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 help cover expenses for these programs, which vary in length from one to four weeks. The deadline to apply is March 5, 2025. Visit the NEH website to browse all of the 2025 summer programs.
