HPP Scholars in the Interpretation of History
A Professional Development Opportunity for Experimental Research

This professional development opportunity from Heritage Philadelphia Program (HPP) of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage supports individual practitioners in the investigation of imaginative projects in public history. The HPP Scholars program is intended to advance HPP’s mission of encouraging and supporting excellence and innovation in public history interpretation.

HPP will award small grants to individuals to support experimental research that brings history alive in the following ways:

  • connecting the present to the past in engaging and innovative ways,
  • responding to audience /community interests or needs,
  • demonstrating how history is integrally related to contemporary life and culture in all its breadth and diversity.

Awards of $5000 are available to individual applicants to support research and study time, materials, travel or other expenses related to the project.
$2500 is also available to the individual’s organization or employer to offset lost time or any hardship caused by the individual’s temporary absence.
