Princeton University – Alfred Hodder Fellowships
Three stipends of $56,000 each are given to writers of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects in the humanities at Princeton University during the 2007–2008 academic year. Typically the fellows are poets, novelists, creative nonfiction writers, and translators who have published one highly acclaimed work and are undertaking a significant new project that might not be possible without the “studious leisure” afforded by the fellowship. Fellows are required to live in Princeton during the academic year. Preference is given to individuals outside of academia, and PhD candidates are not eligible. Submit no more than ten pages of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction, a resumé, a project proposal of two to three pages, and an SASE by November 1. There is no entry fee.
