Howard Fellowships – Howard Foundation Scholarships

Scholarship Introduction:
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, those who have achieved recognition for at least one major project. Approximately ten fellowships will be awarded in April 2011 for 2011-2012 in the fields of Creative Non-Fiction, Literary Translation (into English),Film Studies, Literary Studies.Stipends of $25,000 will be awarded to support individuals working on specific writing projects for the academic year 2011-2012. Howard Fellowships may not be used for filmmaking, to prepare exhibits, or to support institutional programs. There are no residency requirements for individuals who receive awards. We are aware that leave patterns and individual career plans do not necessarily correspond to the Howard Foundation cycle of awards for individuals, and fellowship recipients in a given year may accordingly postpone receipt of their fellowship funds, if that is more convenient for them.Fellowship recipients will be announced in April 2011.
