NEH Summer Scholars participate free of charge and receive a stipend of $2,100 for the two-week program. The stipend is intended to help defray travel expenses to and from New York City and living expenses. The first half of the stipend will be paid to you on the first day of the institute with the remainder paid on the final day.
