## What the grant funds

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) supports projects for the translation of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English through fellowships to published translators. The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary excellence and merit. We encourage translation projects that feature languages, perspectives, and writers that are not well represented in English, as well as work that has not previously been translated into English. The NEA is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and fostering mutual support for the diverse beliefs and values of all individuals and groups. Individual U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. who meet specific publication requirements are eligible to apply. An individual may submit only one application for FY 2026 Literature Fellowships funding. Grant amounts range from $10,000 to $25,000.
