Summer 2010 Literary Fellows
Current Sophomores and Juniors are invited to apply for funding to support summer opportunities in literary-related settings, such as magazines, journals, publishing houses or as participants in summer creative writing and literary workshops. You can seek experiences in both domestic and overseas settings.
The Summer Literary Fellows committee will select student(s) for this stipend, and award at least $3000 in funding. There may be the opportunity for supplemental funding, should your location be especially remote or overseas.
Deadline for application is the 12:30 p.m. on March 12, 2010. This means finding a site, obtaining your supervisor's confirmation of your participation and writing a winning proposal. It is suggested you make plans to meet during the fall semester with a Filene Center Advisor to start the process of looking for an internship. Summer may seem far away; however, internships of this type take time to research, cultivate and secure.
