The Federation of State Humanities Councils and the National Humanities Alliance are pleased to announce the 2024 National Humanities Conference Equitable Access grant recipients. This program has been made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). These 15 grants reimburse travel, lodging, and registration expenses relating to the National Humanities Conference for U.S.-based humanities students and humanities professionals and scholars from a range of organizations such as museums, heritage centers, state humanities councils, universities, and community organizations. Applications were particularly encouraged from individuals from marginalized populations and communities previously underrepresented at the National Humanities Conference.

At the National Humanities Conference, this cohort will gather to get to know one another, attend and participate in conference sessions, and meet with senior staff from the NEH.
