The National Endowment for the Humanities announced that it has awarded a $10 million grant to FEHE to “offer new programs in classical humanities within the FEHE network and at other elite universities, and to provide grants for the development of courses, seminars, workshops, fellowships, and special initiatives focusing on themes such as humanities and civics, humanities and economics, and intellectual friendship and civil discourse.”
The NEH grant will increase the ability of the FEHE network to offer mentorship opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students, an increased number of graduate scholarships and post-doctoral fellowships, and more funding for course development and teaching fellowships. In addition, the grant will allow FEHE to develop new partnerships and programs in the humanities. Luis Tellez, President of FEHE, says, “Higher education has an opportunity right now to return to its purpose: To form the next generation in character and virtue, so that they can face the challenges that lie ahead with courage and wisdom. FEHE is uniquely situated to be a voice of reason, reform, and hope in the years ahead.”
