The first was announced in November 2021 with the fellowship running from January to December 2022. The Letras Boricuas Fellowship will have two cohorts. Applications will be accepted in Spanish and/or English. It is also the aim that each Fellowship cohort will include writers of different genres and writers who live in Puerto Rico, as well Puerto Ricans who may live in the United States. While fellowship award funds are unrestricted, the hope is to help writers in Puerto Rico and across the diaspora, pursue their writing, amplify their work to a broader audience, and create work that celebrates Puerto Rican life and culture. Recipients will also participate in a gathering of all forty Fellows to be hosted in Puerto Rico, tentatively scheduled for April 2023. The Letras Boricuas Fellowship is an opportunity sponsored by The Mellon Foundation and The Flamboyan Foundation’s Arts Fund, which will provide forty writers -twenty selected in 2021 and twenty selected in 2022 - $25,000 each.
