John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (Guggenheim Fellowship)

About this program

The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awards competitive Guggenheim Fellowships to scholars, scientists, poets, artists, and writers to support advanced, independent research or creative work across the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences. Fellowships provide flexible, project-directed financial support intended to free recipients from other obligations so they can complete substantial scholarly or artistic work. Applicants must demonstrate a strong record of prior achievement and promise of future accomplishment; eligibility and application tracks vary by region (U.S. & Canada versus Latin America & the Caribbean) and by discipline, so candidates should consult the Foundation’s specific citizenship/residency and submission requirements.
