The Raab Writing Fellows Program, funded by a generous gift from UCSB Trustee Diana Raab, provides opportunities for mentoring and research in writing to selected undergraduates. This fellowship would be valuable for students interested in pursuing graduate work or in developing a writing project with an expert in the field. The program supports the academic and professional writing of students via one-on-one work with Writing Program faculty. Moreover, students have the opportunity to collaborate with the cohort of other Raab Writing Fellows, building a strong bond and writing network for their activities at UCSB and beyond.
Raab Writing Fellows can receive up to $700 in support for project needs (e.g., books, travel, software). Once accepted into the program, students enroll in Writing 131, a year-long course sequence (four units spread out over three quarters) that provides resources and guidance for their project. Applications for the 2026-27 academic year are open with a closing date of Friday, July 10th.
