FREE ENTRY / Fine Arts Work Center - 2026-2027 Fellowship Program

Generous support from The Rona Jaffe Foundation has established the Rona Jaffe Foundation Fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center. This fellowship will be awarded each year, beginning in 2022-23, to an emerging woman writer of exceptional promise. The fellowship fully funds the 7-month residency and includes a $2,500 prize to help defray the cost of travel and living expenses.

Rona Jaffe Foundation fellows must be permanent residents of the U.S. and may not have published their first book in the standard edition. All eligible candidates will be automatically considered for this fellowship by the Fine Arts Work Center.

There is no separate application process for the Rona Jaffe Foundation Fellowship.
