Wallace Stegner Fellowships 2027–2029 — Stanford University ($75,000 Stipend, Fiction and Poetry)
Stanford University
Stanford's two-year Wallace Stegner Fellowship in fiction and poetry: a fully funded writing residency within the Creative Writing Program.
publicSeo.openCall.benefits
Ten two-year fellowships each year, five in fiction and five in poetry. Fellows receive a $75,000 living stipend; tuition and health insurance are paid by the Creative Writing Program. The only requirements are writing and a weekly three-hour workshop with Stanford faculty; summers are free. No degree is awarded — an artist-in-residence opportunity for promising writers.
publicSeo.openCall.eligibility
Anyone may apply, regardless of nationality (international fellows get J-1 visa support); applicants must be at least 18 when the fellowship starts. No degree or tests required, and prior book publication is not required. The fellowship is a full-time commitment, not combinable with another degree programme; fellows must live close enough to Stanford to attend workshops.
