Guggenheim Fellowship

[1] These awards are bestowed upon individuals who have demonstrated distinguished accomplishment in the past and potential for future achievement.[2][3][4] The foundation holds two separate competitions each year:[5] The performing arts are excluded from these fellowships, but composers, film directors, and choreographers are still eligible to apply.While students are not qualified to apply, advanced professionals in mid-career, such as published authors, are encouraged to do so.[7][1] The goal of the grant is to provide recipients with dedicated time and freedom to pursue their projects or artistic endeavours, while being relieved of their regular duties.As of 2023, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation has funded over 18,000 Fellows with a total sum of almost $400 million since its inception.
