The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Education Programs invites applications for the Landmarks of American History and Culture program. This program funds a series of one-week workshops—offered in residential, virtual, or combined formats—across the United States.

The program supports professional development that fosters innovative humanities education and scholarship grounded in local and national historical contexts.
