The Public Humanities Fellowship is a competitive grant program intended to support research in the humanities relating to Montana and the region. Fellowship funds support continuous work on a humanities project for a period of six consecutive months. Fellowship funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research and delivery of a public program in Montana.
Humanities Montana fellowships are not limited to individuals in educational institutions. Independent scholars and writers in various other settings—such as, museums, libraries, and historical associations, or others—are welcome and encouraged to apply.
Humanities Montana awards fellowships to individuals, not organizations or institutions of higher education. To learn more, take our online eligibility survey.

Humanities Montana’s Community Project Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations and public institutions across Montana to support public humanities programs that engage Montanans in meaningful discussion about the human condition, strengthen cooperative relationships among communities and cultural organizations (museums, libraries, schools, tribal organizations, etc.) and enrich civic discourse among the state’s diverse cultures and across its geographical distances.
These grants are designed to support a vast array of bold and innovative projects that are meaningful to local communities and inspire timely community conversations, from film screenings and panel discussions to cultural festivals and youth literacy programs — and much more.
Nonprofit organizations, accredited institutions of higher education, state or local government or one of their agencies (schools, libraries, museums, etc.), federally recognized Native American Tribal governments, and tribal organizations. A Unique Entity ID (UEI) and Federal Tax ID (EIN) are required to apply. To learn more, take our online eligibility survey.
