The Digital Rhetoric Collaborative is no longer accepting applications for the 2025-26 Fellowship. However, a new application will be posted in early June of next year through August.
Fellowship Description
Digital Rhetoric Collaborative (DRC) Graduate Fellows are graduate students currently doing research in areas of digital rhetoric who seek professional development experience in online publishing with a major university press and a website that serves the community of Computers and Writing.
Fellows will be selected by the DRC co-directors and advisory board and will receive an annual award of $1000 and recognition on the DRC website. The Fellowship is for one year (September-August), with the possibility of renewal for one additional year.
This fellowship application is open to graduate students from all U.S. institutions. For some international students, receiving funding from an external institution can require additional steps unique to their context. Please check with your institution’s international student office about the different pathways through which you might be able to receive external award funding and whether it is permissible for you to apply. We are also happy to meet with you to help determine what will work best for your situation.
In collaboration with DRC colleagues, Fellows will have the opportunity to incorporate their research interests into two DRC projects per year for publication on our website. Typical projects may include: coordinating a blog carnival, extending the DRC podcast, enhancing the resources section of the website, or pursuing projects related to their scholarly interests. Fellows also participate in monthly team meetings to collaborate and receive feedback on their projects.
