What is Guggenheim Fellowship?
Guggenheim is a grant provided by a professional scholar or artist by John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. The prize was founded by Simon Guggenheim and his wife in 1925 in memory of their son. Originally, only citizens of the United States were eligible for the community, although the requirements have changed many times since. The purpose of the grant is to enable working artist or scholars to work creatively for a certain period of time. The amount of money granted in each community varies.
The Guggenheim scholarship can take from six to 12 months, without conditions for money. Grants are provided by advanced professionals who are defined as people who have a "significant record" of work in their field. Students are not eligible.
grants are provided to people who create their own work. Individuals in theater art, ie those who interpret the work of others rather than create a new work, are not eligible. Pronaclad, the choreographer is eligible but the dancer notof it. Along with artistic efforts, scholarships are awarded in natural sciences, social sciences and humanities.
There are two categories of Guggenheim Community. One is awarded to individuals from the United States and Canada, the other for people from Latin America and the Caribbean. The community is awarded annually. Once the person is granted the Guggenheim Community, it does not have to ask for more.
The applicant for the Guggenheim scholarship is obliged to present many materials. This includes links, a resume or a CV and examples of their work. The foundation receives 3,500 to 4,000 applications per year and generally prices of about 220. Anyone can ask and all applications are reviewed for assessment. The person must apply for a community's claim in Guggenheim and none of them is awarded to the non -APLICATIONS.
According to the Guggenheim Foundation, applications are classified by field. Experts in this area, all former members of GuggenheIM, are asked to assess all applicants for this area. These experts issue recommendations of the committee that decides how much awards to grant in each area and to whom. The Board of Directors for the Guggenheim Foundation has the final price approval.
