 The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the
 October 1, 1996, deadline for the Summer Stipends program.
 NEH Summer Stipends support two months of full-time work on
 projects that will contribute to scholarly knowledge or to
 the general public's understanding of the humanities.
 Projects may address broad topics or consist of research and
 study in a single field.

 In most cases, faculty members of colleges and universities
 in the United States must be nominated by their institutions
 for the Summer Stipends competition, and each of these
 institutions may nominate two applicants.  Prospective
 applicants who will require nomination should acquaint
 themselves with their institution's nomination procedures
 well before the October 1 deadline.  Individuals employed in
 nonteaching capacities in colleges and universities and
 individuals not affiliated with colleges and universities do
 not require nomination and may apply directly to the
 program.

 APPLICATION DEADLINE:  October 1, 1996

 TENURE:  Tenure must cover two full and uninterrupted months
 and will normally be held between May1, 1997, and September
 30, 1997.

 STIPEND:  $4,000
