It is impossible to quantify the vital role that the NEH has played in our national search for meaning and self-knowledge, but the endowment’s website begins to tell the story.
From Los Angeles Times
Since its inception in 1965 by Congress, the NEH has funded more than 70,000 projects in all 50 states.
From Los Angeles Times
Out of money and facing dwindling support, I was fortunate to receive a dissertation fellowship from the NEH that allowed me a final year to complete my thesis.
From Los Angeles Times
The fellowship allowed me to take chances, and in the book that the thesis became — whose writing was also in part funded by the NEH — I argued that California had its own colonial history that for reasons of “chronology, geography, and teleology” had been left out of our national narrative, one historically focused on the Founding Fathers and the 13 British colonies.
From Los Angeles Times
