Applications for two of our internal fellowships are now live on our website!

Fall 2026 Residential Faculty Fellowships are available to full-time UMBC tenured or tenure-track faculty who are pursuing humanities research. Fellows reside at least two days per week in the Dresher Center and receive up to two course releases from teaching in order to work on significant humanities research projects or the training necessary to embark on such projects. Residential fellows also participate in a range of Dresher Center programs and activities. Fellows have the use of an office in the Dresher Center, student research assistance, as well as access to the Center’s administrative and research development services.

Spring 2026 Graduate Student Fellowships are available to UMBC graduate students (M.A., M.F.A., M.P.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) working on humanities-related research projects that will culminate in a dissertation, master’s thesis, or capstone project. One fellowship is awarded per semester. Fellows participate in Dresher Center programs, such as “CURRENTS: Humanities Work Now,” and attend the Humanities Forum and other activities. Fellows will receive up to $3,000 ($1,500 can serve as a stipend while the other $1,500 should be used for research travel, materials, or other directly-related research expenses.)
