Since 1963, the CINTAS Foundation has awarded over many fellowships in creative writing. In addition to supporting Cuban writers, many early in their careers, the CINTAS Foundation also maintains a growing collection of works by past awardees and other esteemed Cuban artists. For the purpose of historical value and documentation, award recipients are encouraged to submit creative writing sample, signed book, or other such representative samples of their work to be added to the CINTAS Fellows Collection after the grant period.
ELIGIBILITY: Creative writers of Cuban citizenship or direct lineage (having a Cuban parent or grandparent). Performing artists are not eligible to apply for CINTAS Fellowships. CINTAS Fellowships can only be awarded a maximum of two times to an individual. Students enrolled in graduate programs are eligible to apply in Creative Writing.
NOTICE TO APPLICANTS: The award ($25,000 US) is considered taxable income under US tax law and the Foundation will withhold appropriate US taxes. Fellows who are not US citizens and who are living abroad must provide a US taxpayer identification number when they accept the fellowship to receive payment. The address for the Internal Revenue Service website: www.irs.gov, at which the form is readily available. The Foundation’s grant of an award is subject to current and future US laws and regulations that may limit its ability to issue funds to Cuban Nationals.
