Location(s)

  • United States of America

Overview

The Hodder Fellowship will be given to artists and writers of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects at Princeton University during the academic year.

Details

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.

Hodder Fellows spend an academic year at Princeton, but no formal teaching is involved.

To apply, please submit a curriculum vitae, a 500-word project proposal, and samples of your work (i.e., writing sample, images of your work, video links to performances, etc.).

Interested applicants may apply for the Hodder Fellowship in each new application cycle.

What is the next application deadline?

The next application cycle will open on July 1, 2024, with a mid-September deadline.

What supporting documentation needs to be submitted in addition to the online application?

Include a:

  • Resume
  • Project proposal of 500 words
  • Sample of work

NOTE: The Hodder Application requires that you upload contact information for three recommenders. Please fill this section out but note that those recommenders will most likely not be contacted since this is not a requirement for the fellowship application process.
