On Monday I wrote to nominating officials, announcing that the guidelines for this fall’s NEH Summer Stipends program had been posted and asking them to encourage applications from their faculty. Since then I have heard from a number of officials, asking if the Summer Stipends program would happen next year, given the president’s proposed budget. Given how much more of the federal budget process remains to be completed, we believe it is wise to continue our work as we normally have. Therefore we will continue accepting and reviewing applications for funding in all NEH programs. We encourage all applicants to file applications for funding.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your support of the Summer Stipends program.

Program for Formerly Incarcerated People
We support fair-chance hiring policies, and believe that a history of convictions shouldn’t disqualify someone from employment. But what does that look like in practice? In creating a professional development program for graduates of the Bard Prison Initiative, we found some answers.
If you work hard and play by the rules, then you should be able to get ahead—at least according to the fabled American Dream. Now, a new tool gives us a way to examine the many factors that have helped or hindered us, and to spark honest conversations about the role of inequality and opportunity in our lives.
In their eye-opening new book Whiplash: How to Survive Our Faster Future, Joi Ito and Jeff Howe lay out a set of clear principles for navigating our age of rapid technological change—and making sure we don’t make inequality worse in the process.
