Stanford Humanities Center
Nominated by faculty advisors, Hume Honors Fellows each receive support from the Humanities Center for writing their honors thesis.
The Stanford Humanities Center is pleased to welcome ten Hume Honors Fellows to join its fellowship community for the remainder of the 2025–26 academic year.
Since 2013, the Center has been awarding fellowships to outstanding seniors writing an honors thesis in one of Stanford’s humanities deparments. Hume Honors Fellows are chosen from candidates nominated by faculty each fall. They receive a stipend for research; space in a dedicated undergraduate office at the Center; and chances to bond as a cohort via participation in group activities, such as the annual Hume Symposium, where they preview their work for peers, advisors, and the program benefactors.
In the stimulating scholarly environment of the Center, Hume Honors Fellows benefit not only from a yearlong association as a cohort but also from conversations with graduate students and faculty fellows in residence. These intensive intellectual interactions expose them to advanced research in the humanities.
The Hume Honors Fellowships are made possible by gifts from Mr. George H. Hume and Dr. Leslie P. Hume.
