Become a Humanities Scholar

Now Accepting Applications for the 2023 Stanford Summer Humanities Institute.

The Stanford Summer Humanities Institute is a three-week residential program where rising high school juniors and seniors can explore the big questions at the heart of the humanities in seminars led by Stanford professors and graduate students.

Participants tap into Stanford University's excellence in the humanities and social sciences—exploring texts and ideas, writing college-level papers, and communicating complex arguments in their academic writing and discussion sections.

For three weeks, live and study alongside fellow participants from around the world who are similarly interested in the humanities. Learn to understand the past, question the present, and imagine the future with a community of curious, independent thinkers from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives.
