Awards & Grants

About Our Awards

The Charles Redd Center provides awards, fellowships, and grants in a variety of categories and disciplines. Priority is given to projects that use the North American West as an essential part of framing, theory, or analysis, as opposed to those for which “western” locales are simply incidental to project parameters or purposes. Additionally, some categories narrow focus to projects on the “Intermountain West,” defined as the interior-facing or intermountain regions of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Some award categories are restricted to BYU faculty or students, but the others are open to all applicants.
