Spring 2026 Faculty Fellowships

The Humanities Center at Texas Tech is calling for applications from Texas Tech tenure-line faculty in the humanities for its Spring 2026 Faculty Fellowships competition.  The Center will award at least one full fellowship for Spring 2026, with the possibility of other individual course buyouts for additional fellows.  The full fellowship award will “buy out” the awardee’s teaching assignment for one semester to facilitate work on some major project in the humanities.  For this competition, priority will be given to untenured faculty, though if funds allow, the Center will look to buy out individual courses from additional faculty at all levels.  Any winning fellows will be expected to make a 40-minute presentation about their work to the Humanities Center community during the 2026-2027 academic year. Deadline is April 30, 2025.
