American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship

The American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship program recognizes outstanding scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. ACLS Fellowships provide up to $60,000 to support scholars for six to 12 months of full-time research and writing. Awardees who are independent scholars, adjunct faculty, or have teaching-intensive roles receive an additional stipend between $3,000 and $6,000. The ACLS Fellowship Program is funded primarily by the ACLS endowment, which has benefited from the generous support of esteemed funders, institutional members, and individual donors since their founding in 1919.
