undocupoets fellowship

The annual Undocupoets Fellowship grants three unrestricted $500 fellowships to 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  2026 Summer Workshop Program in Provincetown, MA. 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.

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.
