The Leon Levy Center for Biography offers four resident fellowships for biographers working on book-length biography projects. Awards include writing space at the CUNY Graduate Center, full access to research facilities, research assistance, and a stipend of $72,000. The period of the residencies is September through May of each year. Fellows devote their time to their projects and participate in monthly seminars and the public events of the Leon Levy Center for Biography, including the annual lecture and conference. They are encouraged to join in the dynamic intellectual community of the Graduate Center. While the selection committee evaluates each application on its own merits, preference is given to those who have not yet published a biography or received fellowships for the writing of a biography, though applications from mid-career and senior writers are also welcome.
