The highly prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship supports mid-career individuals who have demonstrated exceptional capacity for scholarship or creative work. Fellowships are awarded across disciplines, encompassing the creative arts, the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. Supported projects range from scholarly publications to artistic works and often engage contemporary issues. Each year, approximately 175 fellowships are awarded to writers, scholars, scientists, artists, filmmakers, and composers with a strong record of publication, exhibition, or performance. The fellowship supports 6–12 months of research or creative activity with flexible use of funds and no specific project requirement. Awards typically range from $30,000–$55,000, depending on project scope and individual need. Application opens in early August and closes mid-September. Learn more at www.gf.org/program.
