Hi there...sorry it took so long to get back to you! I accidentally had changed my comments setting and wasn't getting notified when people commented on this site. Anyway, you could go several ways with this. One is to apply for a Fulbright, another is to check out artcorp: http://www.artcorp.org/, and I would definitely go to http://www.resartis.org and see what they have available for

Hi, Mira. Thank you for working on this blog. I've shared it with my friends & colleagues, on FB, etc., and they love it, too. Regarding what else I'd like to see: I'm a poet/instructor and my husband is a visual artist, and both of us have a particular interest in visiting Latin America, Spain, or any Spanish-speaking country to work on and share our art. He's just finishing

Thank you for the excellent question. First, in my opinion, I wouldn't waste time with places that ask you to pay a fee. You should be able to find funding based on your own merit.

Dear Mira, I've been researching grants and scholarships for graduate school and the bulk of what I find requires ordering "free" grant software (with a monthly fee after a week trial period). Are these the scams I sense them to be? I've started searching through the links you provide on your site but I was wondering if you might be able to suggest good sites or foundations to look into. I

Thanks for your input! Okay, as far as government grants like the NEA go, I have never heard anything about calling a state rep. I have spoken with judges in the past and they tell me that they really judge all work blindly. I think it would be unethical for any state rep to try to influence a grant decision (and unethical to ask one to). It is supposed to be based on the strength of one's work

Dear Mira,
You've made a giant contribution to those of us seeking grants and fellowships. Thank you so much. My question is this: For government grants like the NEA, is it essential to call your local senator and ask them to sponsor you by making a phone call, etc? I've not so, but a friend who is State Rep says people often ask her to sponsor them.
