The Virginia G. Piper
Center for Creative Writing

Funding for research, travel, projects and more

As part of our ongoing mission to serve faculty and students at Arizona State University, the Piper Center offers several annual fellowships for faculty and instructors currently teaching courses in English or Creative Writing at Arizona State University to enrich the depth and breadth of their experience in art and impact the community at ASU.

• Creative Research: Up to $15,000 to support research, travel, participation in residencies, presentations at conferences, or other projects or professional opportunities with a creative writing focus
• Global Creative Research: Up to $8,500 to support research, travel, participation in residencies, presentations at conferences, or other projects or professional opportunities with a creative writing focus and an international component.

This year's faculty fellows are Jonathan Danielson and Kathleen McNamara. 

This year due to COVID-19 the Piper Center will not take submissions for the Global Fellowship. In it's place we will offer two Creative Research Fellowships. To learn more about this year's faculty fellows, keep reading. You can also learn more about each fellowship by clicking the links above or using the side menu. 

Looking for other fellowship opportunities? The Piper Center offers a number of fellowships for graduate students currently enrolled in the Creative Writing Program at Arizona State University. Anyone can also become a fellow with the Desert Nights, Rising Stars Writers Conference.
