$18.00 USDFellowship applications are read blind. Please ensure that no identifying details (name, publication titles, etc.) appear anywhere in your application. A separate CV/publication list may be uploaded to supplement your application, but this will not be seen by the jury.
Dickinson House is pleased to offer three fellowships to writers for the 2015 residency season. These fellowships (two two-week residencies and one four-week residency) waive the residency fee (room and board). Fellows are responsible for travel costs, their own insurance and visa fees, and any incidentals.
Fellowships are awarded based on merit and need.
You do not need to apply for a residency separately if you apply for a fellowship. Your fellowship application constitutes application for residency.
