Call for Applications: SPARK Fellowship

The Creative Writing Program in the Department of English is pleased to announce its annual SPARK Fellowship competition. This is an opportunity for undergraduate study abroad combining Creative Writing with cultural translation.

The SPARK Fellowship will provide financial support of up to $4,000 for a student’s independent summer study abroad, involving the pursuit of a project that will combine creative writing and cultural translation. The term cultural translation encompasses a wide variety of possible projects, including the literary translation of texts into English or the reflection of intercultural experiences through language or art. Previous projects have included the creation of a blog that was updated daily with observations, photographs, and short videos; and a short documentary film featuring interviews with relevant scholars and artists.

Designed to encourage autonomous research, this fellowship is distinct from other Study Abroad programs offered by UGA.
