Endowment programs do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or age. We encourage applications from advanced graduate students, early-career scholars, adjuncts, community college or regional university professors, and other underfunded faculty across the United States. 

Every participant will be provided with a $1,300 stipend (taxable as income) after the end of the program to help cover travel, lodging, and meals. Single rooms in Northeastern housing will be available at a discounted price. There is no registration fee.
