About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Arts offers $25,000 Poetry Fellowships for Fiscal Year 2025 to support individual creative writers. Applicants must be published poets seeking to dedicate time to writing, research, travel or career advancement between January 2025 and January 2026. Fellowships will be awarded through an anonymous review of writing samples based on artistic excellence and merit. The application deadline is March 13, 2024. Through this program, the NEA aims to sustain diverse creative writers at all career stages and expand the portfolio of American art.
The Fellowships will provide recipients up to $25,000 to support their proposed projects for one to two years. The work will be performed at locations determined by the recipients as they set aside time for writing, research, travel or other career advancement activities. The program is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts under Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals, which supports opportunities for public participation in the arts.
Synopsis
The National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowships program offers $25,000 grants in prose (fiction and creative nonfiction) and poetry to published creative writers that enable recipients to set aside time for writing, research, travel, and general career advancement. Applications are reviewed through an anonymous process in which the criteria for review are the artistic excellence and artistic merit of the submitted writing sample. Through this program, the NEA seeks to sustain and nurture a diverse range of creative writers at various stages of their careers and to continue to expand the portfolio of American art. The NEA is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and fostering mutual support for the diverse beliefs and values of all individuals and groups. The program operates on a two-year cycle with fellowships in prose and poetry available in alternating years. For FY 2025, which is covered by these guidelines, fellowships in poetry are available. Fellowships in prose (fiction and creative nonfiction) will be offered in FY 2026 and guidelines will be available in January 2025. You may apply only once each year. Competition for fellowships is extremely rigorous. We typically receive more than 1,600 applications each year in this category and award fellowships to fewer than 3% of applicants. The Arts Endowment's support of a project may begin any time between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026 and extend for up to two years.
