Brown International Writers Fellowship

This one-year fellowship with residency at Brown University offers refuge and assistance to proven creative writers (poetry writers, fiction writers, and playwrights) who are oppressed in their residing countries and/or who are stopped from seeking free expression using their literary talents. One fellowship is awarded annually. The fellowship provides a $45,000 stipend, visa assistance and relocation expenses, health benefits and includes classroom sessions, literary readings and activities that emphasize the creative and political lifestyle of the writer and tackle the worldwide issues of individual rights and open expression.
