Description: The Hodder Fellowship will be given to artists and writers of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects at Princeton University during the academic year. Potential Hodder Fellows are composers, choreographers, performance artists, visual artists, writers, translators, or other kinds of artists or humanists who have “much more than ordinary intellectual and literary gifts”; they are selected more “for promise than for performance.” Given the strength of the applicant pool, most successful Fellows have published a first book or have similar achievements in their own fields; the Hodder is designed to provide Fellows with the “studious leisure” to undertake significant new work.
Award: 10-month appointment and $86,000 stipend to pursue independent projects at Princeton during the academic year; fellows also receive $5,000 for research expenses and $2,000 for classroom expenses.
Eligibility: Artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching are welcome to apply. Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to a PhD or an advanced degree. Holders of a PhD degree from Princeton University are ineligible. Applicants need not be U.S. citizens to apply.
Deadline: 5 pm ET, Sept. 14, 2021
