Virginia Humanities non-residential fellows are typically former residential fellows who are completing scholarly research and writing projects. Their affiliation may extend beyond their residential appointment or an association may be formed years after a Fellow’s first appointment as a Virginia Humanities fellow. Our non-residential fellows are appointed to a discrete term while they complete their projects. They are invited to participate in all Virginia Humanities Fellowship Program events.
