How to Apply

John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation - The Online Application

The results of the 2012 United States and Canada competition have been announced.
Follow this link to view the list of the 2012 Guggenheim Fellows.

The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation decided to suspend its Latin American and Caribbean competition for the year 2012 while we examined the workings and efficacy of the program.  The U.S. and Canadian competition was unaffected by this suspension.

If you are interested in applying in the upcoming 2013 United States and Canada competition, you should consult our website in July.

Further details regarding the application process can be found in Application Resources and Submission Materials.

Important Notes

Persons who have already received a Guggenheim Fellowship are not eligible to apply for another.

Guggenheim Fellowships are not available for the creation of residencies, curriculum development, or any type of educational program, nor are they available to support the development of websites or blogs.

Our awards are intended for individuals only; they are not available to organizations, institutions, or groups.

We regret that our awards are not available to support the writing of literature for children or young readers.

For all writers, if you have mainly published in periodicals, or on websites, it might be premature for you to apply here at this stage of your career, given the rigorous nature of our competition.
