Stichting Professor van Winter Fonds supports historical scholarship in the Netherlands, with a clear emphasis on funding academic research and scholarly publications in history. It also makes smaller contributions to history-related research projects, study days, events, and exhibitions, and occasionally offers a highly competitive four-year PhD position through the Van Winter Promovendus program. The fund is especially relevant for universities, historians, and publishers with well-defined projects that advance historical research.
Modest-scale, Netherlands-focused funding with a mix of quarterly review for open applications and an occasional competitive PhD call held roughly once every four years. Grants include project co-funding, publication subsidies, and one-off fellowship-style support rather than large multi-year institutional awards.

For project and publication support, applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed quarterly, so submit well before your intended start date with a clear budget, timeline, and evidence of any funding gap. The PhD position is not continuous; it is opened only about once every four years, so prospective applicants should monitor the website and be prepared to apply as a candidate-supervisor pair when the next call is announced.
