Stegner vs. Iowa MFA

[Baroaque]

Hi,

If you had to choose between an Iowa MFA or a Stegner fellowship at Stanford for fiction writing, is there an obvious choice?

I have a relative facing this decision and don't know much about the literary world, so not sure what advice to give. 

Thank you,

Glenn

Iowa seems to be the more competitive and prestigious one. Came across this post, maybe it helps: https://www.reddit.com/r/writing/comments/d3orn/i_counted_the_graduate_degrees_held_by_the/

Congrats and good luck to your relative!
