Deadline: Monday, March 16, 2026
Developed by BMI in collaboration with the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, the fellowship consists of a three-month term for a writer whose book would directly benefit from access to the Library of Congress’ extensive collections and time in which to conduct research and write. Although this fellowship has some in-person requirements it is primarily virtual, wherein the recipient can continue most of their scholarship and creative activity where they live, with the support of a $15,000 stipend, the cost of travel to Washington, D.C., and the cost of travel to and lodging in Las Vegas where they will present their research and engage with BMI’s local audiences.
It is free to apply, and applications will be accepted through Monday, 3/16/26. Full details are available here.
