Definition of Advanced Professionals


The Foundation understands advanced professionals to be those who as writers, scholars, or scientists have a significant record of publication, or as artists, playwrights, filmmakers, photographers, composers, or the like, have a significant record of exhibition or performance of their work.

Since the significance of a record of accomplishment may be hard to define, however, those who are uncertain whether their work is eligible under Foundation guidelines should inquire by mail or telephone.



Note to Students (and others in training)

Guggenheim Fellowships are not scholarships, and they are not available to those who seek to complete their training either as undergraduate, graduate, or part-time students. They are also not intended for immediate postgraduate work.
