Honors Humanities staff are delighted to recommend you for academic and professional opportunities.

2. A brief personal statement describing your interest in this opportunity.
3. A resume if you have one.
4. An unofficial transcript if necessary.

We need at least 3 weeks to complete a recommendation. If your recommendation is due in less than 3 weeks, please note that in some circumstances we may not be able to complete your request.

If you need help finding your recommender's contact information, please email hhum@umd.edu.

If you are an Honors Humanities student or citation recipient in good standing at the University of Maryland, we invite you to apply for a Think Outside the Shell Microgrant to financially support your learning, service, and/or career activities. Microgrant funds can be used to cover or offset the cost of graduate school applications, med school interviews, keystones, on- or off-campus service projects, study abroad, professional development workshops and conferences, or other academic, service, or career pursuits not listed here.

We offer individual microgrants between $25 and $250. Students pursuing more than one eligible activity may apply for more than one grant. Limit one microgrant per activity.

To apply, please email Dr. Humud at hhum@umd.edu with the following:

1. A brief description of what you plan to do and why it matters to you or the greater community (250 words or less)
2. A list of expected costs
3. Your resume
4. A brief bio (200 words or less) to help us better understand how your proposed activity or pursuit aligns with your goals

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and you are welcome to apply at any time throughout the school year.

Once you have completed each of the requirements to receive your citation, please submit your citation form here. If you have any questions about citation requirements, please read the forms below or email hhum@umd.edu.

We look forward to honoring your graduation by awarding you your cord. In preparation for that, we ask you to complete your Honors Humanities graduation cord form.
