The Poetry Foundation awards the Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowships annually to support exceptional US poets. Applicants need to be between the ages of 21 and 31 in 2025. If you are turning 21 or are 31 at any time in 2025 you are eligible to apply. Applicants must be US citizens or currently reside in the US. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a clear commitment to poetry. One of the Poetry Foundation's priorities when selecting the 2025 Fellows is to support poets who have not had substantial institutional support in their careers thus far.
