John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowships

This memorial foundation was established in 1925 by United States Senator John Simon Guggenheim and offers fellowships to further the development of scholars and artists by supporting them in researching any field of knowledge and art.

Fellows will be asked to research their specialty as well as take ownership of their learning as well as professional development.

Fellowships are rewarded through two major annual competitions. One of these competitions is available to citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada, while the other is available to citizens and permanent residents of Latin America and the Caribbean. The fellowships are awarded by trustees by nominations made by a committee of selection.

The fellowships are awarded to men and women who have already demonstrated exceptional creative ability in the arts.

This fellowship gives endless opportunities for those interested in the arts and is under the freest possible conditions. Recent fellows include those in the field of writing, filmmaking, professors of the arts, poets, composers of music, choreographers, painters, translators, and many more different creative abilities. This fellowship is for individual with an apparent and strong love of the arts. This is not for students as much as it is for individuals furthering their education and understanding of the arts.

The Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship is a grant to selected individuals made for a minimum of six months to a maximum of twelve months. The fellowship grant amount varies but ranges from $30,000 to $45,000.

Since the goal of this fellowship is to allow as much time for creative freedom as possible, those accepted into the program are able to spend the grant as they wish.

The website includes a list of terms to help the individual recognize whether this fellowship is appropriate for him/her. It also gives a list of recent and all fellows with information on professional development as well as when they took part in the fellowship. There is also a page listing frequently asked questions and answers, and a link to begin the application process.
