Most funding opportunities for MFA students and graduates ask for a curriculum vitae (CV), which, unlike a standard resume, is an academic-style outline of your life as a writer.. There is no one way to approach a CV. An MFA student might want more than one CV--perhaps one for the writing and another for employment as a college teacher.
Website writer bios, although compelling, can be too informal or leave out information that would be important to a funder (Rigoberto Gonzalez, Kevin Catalano, Carolyn Forche).
CV or Resume?
The University of MInnesota Career and Internship Services has a helpful Curriculum Vitae page with general guidelines.
The College of Pharmacy at U of M also has a lively and informative document about resumes and CVs adaptable to any academic situation.
