Notable Lecture Grant – Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research

Notable Lecture Grant

Applications due by:

October 16, 2023
March 4, 2024

Applicants are normally notified of award decisions by one month following the application deadline.

ABOUT:

Faculty, graduate students and undergraduates are invited to apply for grants to support speakers of pre-eminent reputation for interdisciplinary scholarship, whose presence on campus will both promote the humanities and contribute broadly to the intellectual community. (Applications for support of other speakers may be made under the Glasscock Center’s Co-sponsorship Grant Program.) We also encourage applications which connect with diverse communities through publicly engaged scholarship. No single award will exceed $4,000. Funds may be used toward honoraria (up to $2,000 per person), travel expenses of the participant(s), publicity costs, technical expenses, and rental of space. Applicants are expected to seek funding from other sources besides the Glasscock Center. Potential applicants are urged to discuss their proposals in advance with the Glasscock Center by contacting us at glasscock@tamu.edu.

Funds should be used within the current or following academic year.

ELIGIBILITY:

Requests to support events scheduled for the semester in which application is made will not be considered. Events for which funding requests are made must take place after the relevant decision announcement. Retroactive requests will not be considered.

Applicants should verify that their event does not conflict with the dates of major Center events by checking with our web calendar prior to the submission of an application (the Center will not fund events that conflict with our Book Prize Lecture, Fallon-Marshall series, or other major symposia or lectures). In order to be eligible for funding, events must be free and open to the public. Preference may be given to individuals who have not received funding under this program in the last year and to events held on the Texas A&M University campus.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS:

Please upload a c.v. (or equivalent documentation) for the proposed presenter(s) along with the required signatures form as a PDF to the application.

Applications will be considered incomplete until all information has been received, at which time an e-mail confirming receipt will be sent to you.

We recommend answering application questions in a Word document and saving it for your records before pasting it into our form for submission.
