The Institute for Humane Studies offers grants for entrepreneurial faculty to support their undergraduate programming and teaching in the classical liberal tradition.

Eligible projects can include mentorship, reading groups, discussion colloquia, student symposia, and innovative requests that help students with their research and conference presentations or enable undergraduates to explore and apply classical liberal ideas. 

If you’re planning to host public lectures, please consider incorporating opportunities for students to engage with the speakers in a meaningful way, such as reading groups or pre-event/post-event meetings with the speakers. We’re particularly interested in funding lectures that engage with liberal themes related to America’s 250th anniversary.

While we understand that your programming will evolve over time, we request that you provide a preliminary lineup of speakers, readings, and discussion topics at the time of your application. Please provide the budget breakdown for each planned activity.

All grants include exclusive access to the IHS Digital Community, which offers digital tools including registration to support you in running a successful event.

Please note the next application cycle opens on March 15, 2025. The application deadline is June 1, 2025. Decisions will be announced by July 15, 2025.

Please Note: IHS grants cannot support institutional overhead or indirect costs.
