For Students
Resources and Opportunities for Graduate Students
The Humanities Center supports graduate students from its affiliated UT arts and humanities departments and colleges through research fellowships, travel funding for dissertation research and conferences, internships and graduate assistantships, and other forms of support.
UT ranks tenth in the country among all universities, public and private, in the number of NEH fellowships received between 2004 and 2022.
Graduate students chosen to spend a year in the UTHC working on their dissertations graduate, on average, 1.5 years sooner, publish their first book sooner, and receive better job offers than other students in the humanities.
Faculty who spend a year at the University of Tennessee win NEH and other awards and publish award-winning books and research projects more quickly.
