Delmas Foundation Humanities Program

The foundation awards grants to further the humanities along a broad front, supporting projects that address the original tenets of the studia humanitatis: a humanistic education is rooted in the great traditions of the past; the formation of human beings according to cultural, moral, and aesthetic ideals derived from that past; and the ongoing debate over how these ideals may best be conceived and realized. Programs in the following areas are eligible: - History - Archaeology - Literature - Languages, both classical and modern - Philosophy - Ethics - Comparative religion - The history, criticism, and theory of the arts - Those aspects of the social sciences that share the content and methods of humanistic disciplines The foundation welcomes projects that cross the boundaries between humanistic disciplines and explore the connection between the humanities and other areas of scholarship. The prime criterion remains that of Gladys and Jean Paul Delmas: a commitment to excellence, whether proven or promised, at every level of the humanistic spectrum.
