Eligible projects include scholarly research and other initiatives that represent significant contributions to the applicant’s discipline.

In addition to scholarly research and publication, examples of eligible projects include professional-level (a) writing and publication of creative/journalistic works, (b) creation and performance/exhibition of works of the fine arts or music, (c) writing and production of works of theater, (d) creation and implementation of public initiatives that serve the social good and are specifically relevant to the applicant’s academic disciplines. Funding will be considered for project start-up costs, research or other project assistance, re-assigned time, essential equipment, production expenses, travel, manuscript preparation costs, and submission or other relevant fees.
The Lang Fellowships awards will range from $3,500 to $8,000. It is anticipated that between six and eight Lang Fellowships will be awarded. The award period will be from June 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

Eligibility
1. I received a tenure offer for the upcoming academic year, starting in September. Am I still eligible to apply for this fellowship? ”
Yes. The Eugene Lang Fellowship deadline usually falls in late February – mid-March of the current academic year. Since your tenure offer states that your tenure starts on September 1st of the current Academic year, after the fellowship deadline, you are still considered un-tenured full-time faculty and eligible at the time of the application deadline.
