Howard Fellowships in Fiction and Poetry
Stipends of $25,000 will be awarded to support individuals working on specific writing projects for the academic year 2010-2011. There are no residency requirements for individuals who receive awards. The deadline for receipt of applications is November 9, 2009. Beginning in the fall of 2010, the Howard Foundation plans to follow a five-year rotation of fields for its annual fellowship competition, as described below:
2010-2011 Fiction and Poetry
2011-2012 Creative Non-Fiction, Translation, Literary and Film Studies
2012-2013 Photography Anthropology, Archaeology
2013-2014 Painting, Sculpture History of Art and Architecture
2014-2015 Playwriting, Music Theatre Studies, Musicology, History
2015-2016 Creative Writing in English: Fiction and Poetry Philosophy
Appropriate candidates for a Howard Fellowship should have completed their formal studies within the past five to fifteen years and should also have successfully completed at least one major project beyond degree requirements that would be sufficient for the awarding of tenure at a research institution or for achieving comparable peer recognition, e.g., through publication. The Howard Foundation awards a limited number of fellowships each year for independent projects in selected fields. The Foundation targets its support specifically to early mid-career individuals. Application materials for the 2010-2011 competition in Creative Writing in English: Fiction and Poetry are available through this link.

Amsterdam Writer-in-Residence Program
These writing residencies are available for three to five months and include living space in the heart of the old Amsterdam. The existing funds do not cover the author's travel expenses, but do allow for a maximum residence grant of 2,000 Euro per month. Active assistance will be provided to the authors to help find subsidies in their respective countries of origin in order to finance the journey to Amsterdam. Open deadline.
