Undocupoets Fellowship Application

The annual Undocupoets Fellowship grants three unrestricted $500 fellowships to poets who are currently or who were formerly undocumented in the United States.

Honoring our foundational, five-year partnership with Sibling Rivalry Press, Undocupoets remains committed to reserving at least one of the fellowships to LGBTQ poets who are currently or who were formerly undocumented in the United States.

Fellows also receive a scholarship from the Fine Arts Work Center to attend the 2025 Summer Workshop Program in Provincetown, MA. The dates of their classes run from June 15 to August 16, 2025. The scholarship covers the cost of tuition and housing for a one-week residency, as well as a $500 stipend to help cover transportation and food costs. Selected Fellows are not required to attend and this will not impact final decisions. If selected as a Fellow, will you be interested in attending a one-week Fine Arts Summer Workshop in 2025?

Deadline: February 14, 2025, at 11:59 pm EDT

2023 Undocupoets Fellowship Recipients

We are delighted to welcome the new 2023 Undocupoets Fellowship recipients Charlotte Abotsi, Mico Astrid, and Georgio Russell. Nearing our 10th year as an organization we are humbled and awestruck at the talent, vision, and range of aesthetics we have encountered year after year of offering the Undocupoets Fellowship. With each new cohort, we meet and are honored to introduce poets who challenge us to envision the possibilities of our art. This year we received more applications for the fellowship than any previous year, which means that our voices are growing as well as the need for them to be heard.
