March 4, 2024

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

ABOUT:

The Glasscock Center supports the humanities at Texas A&M University by co-sponsoring public lectures and performances with a scholarly component by visitors from outside the university who engage with research in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Requests of up to $1000 may be made.

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.

Faculty, graduate students and undergraduates may submit requests for Co-sponsorship Grants. 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). Preference may also be given to individuals who have not received funding under this program in the past year. Events should be held on the Texas A&M University campus and/or in our surrounding communities of Bryan/College Station. Events must be free and open to the public to be eligible.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT:

All publicity must acknowledge the sponsorship of “The Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research.” If you need our logo for publicity materials, download it here.
