Wladyslaw Cieszynski English Fellowship for Prose
The Wlaydslaw Cieszynski English Fellowship is given to an outstanding graduate student in the Department of English. Eligible students must be working on their master’s or PhD in the creative writing track in the Department of English. Eligible students will also have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and be heading into their last year of study (graduating by August of 2026). This contest is for previously published work: one story of no more than 6000 words, or one creative nonfiction piece of no more than 6000 words. Online and print publications are both acceptable. Submit (as a PDF) a copy of the journal cover or web site’s front page, table of contents when one exists, and the published piece itself with the author’s name blacked out wherever it appears.
Applications are typically accepted in mid-Spring each year.
