In the organiser's words
Quoted from ragdale.org and checked on 5 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
Ragdale states an application fee of $35, with waivers available on request, and a self-determined sliding scale of $35 to $280 per day for the eighteen-day residency. Fellowship recipients receive a fee-waived residency and a stipend of at least $1,000. Applications close at 11:59pm CST on May 14; the organiser states the date without a year, so none is recorded. Ragdale states that it awards over 150 residencies annually.
