The program is in response to the need to create the means for translators to take the next major step in their careers." Applicants must have a bachelor's degree or higher, and must submit three translation samples as part of the application package. There is no application fee indicated; deadline is March 1, 2009. Fellowships "will include an $18,000 stipend and medical benefits." Visit the Web site for full information and application instructions. (Thanks to Kimiko Hahn for forwarding this opportunity to me!)
