John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
The Guggenheim Fellowship is a prestigious award supporting exceptional individuals in pursuit of scholarship in any field of knowledge and creation in any art form. For over a century, the fellowship has supported artists, writers, scholars, and scientists at the highest levels of achievement. The fellowship is not a lifetime achievement award but rather recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exceptional ability and exhibit great promise for future endeavors. Fellows are awarded through an annual competition based on open applications and are given the freedom to pursue their work without expectation or constraint.
The Guggenheim Fellowship is open to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional ability in their chosen field and exhibit great promise for future endeavors. Specific eligibility criteria are available through the foundation's online resources.
