Stanford Humanities Center
Nominated by faculty advisors, these undergraduate 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 2024–25 academic year. Nominated by their faculty advisors, these undergraduate seniors are each majoring in a humanities discipline and working on projects in Asian American studies, English, history, philosophy, political science, and other fields. The SHC annually awards the fellowship to outstanding students. They share an office at the Center, receive a stipend for research, and participate in group activities that inspire friendship and deepen their scholarly focus. The program culminates with a symposium where each student presents their honors thesis to peers, advisors, SHC Fellows, and the program benefactors.
In the stimulating scholarly environment of the Center, Hume Honors Fellows benefit not only from a year-long 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.
