The Global Fellowships

The Boston University MFA in Creative Writing is pleased to announce travel awards in fiction and poetry.

A generous donor has made it possible for a good number of our students to travel abroad after they complete the two semesters of our workshops. Those chosen for the Robert Pinsky Fellowships in Poetry and the Leslie Epstein Fellowships in Fiction may go to any country and do there what they wish, for a typical stay of three months.

Our creative writing program is challenging and intensive. After a year of study with our faculty—in poetry, Robert Pinsky, Louise Glück, and Rosanna Warren; and in fiction, with Leslie Epstein, Ha Jin, and Sigrid Nunez—we are pleased to offer these students an experience that can be no less challenging but we hope full of pleasure as well.

Global Fellowships are only open to current BU MFA students. Please click here to visit our Travel Site; for further information email or call 617 353 2510. To apply for admission to our MFA program (1 March 2012 is the next available deadline) click here.
