Partnership-in-Scholarship Grants for African American Historic Places

Funded in part by the Ford Foundation, Partnership-in-Scholarship grants support collaborative projects between African American historic places and college/university scholars. Up to twelve grants of $5,000 each will be awarded for projects that help sustain current or attract new audiences at historic sites or enhance the interpretation of challenging topics at historic sites. Eligible projects include improving public access to African American historical and cultural resources at historic places, strengthening teaching and education at colleges and universities through historic places, promoting research and original scholarship on a significant theme related to African American history and culture to support joint public programs, providing opportunities for lifelong learning through a collaborative program, strengthening each institution’s humanities programming to preserve, enhance, or enjoy significant African American historic places.
