Can a funded center offer NEH fellowships for periods of less than four months?
No. Fellowships must be between four and twelve months long. However, the applicant can retain some flexibility in determining fellowship tenures. For example, an institution awarded eighteen months of fellowship stipend funds could offer either three six-month fellowships, three four-month fellowships and one six-month fellowship, or two nine-month fellowships. NEH funds for all stipends are calculated at a rate of $4,200 per month.
