Fellowship of the Academy of American Poets
- Fellowship of the Academy of American Poets
The Fellowship of the Academy of American Poets, or "Academy Fellowship", was the first award of its kind in the United States. Given out since 1946, it is awarded for "distinguished poetic achievement." Each summer the Academy's Board of Chancellors elects one fellow by majority vote. No applications are accepted. The Fellowship carries with it a stipend of $25,000. It is given in memory of James Ingram Merrill.
