Ten fellowships are awarded every year, five in fiction and five in poetry. The recipients do not need a degree to receive the fellowships, though many fellows already hold the terminal M.F.A. degree in creative writing. A workshop-based program, no degree is awarded after the two-year fellowship. Prior to 1990, many fellows also enrolled in Stanford's now-defunct M.A. program in creative writing.[1][2]
Fellows receive a stipend of $50,000 per year, as well as health insurance and their tuition fee for Stanford.[3] Fellows are required to live close enough to Stanford to be able to attend all workshops, as well as other department-related readings and events.
