## Educational Advisory Board
The Foundation doesn’t release the names of its advisers, but from the beginning it has elected a small fraction of them as the Educational Advisory Board (EAB). Its members—all of whom are former Fellows—are appointed to renewable four-year terms. These terms are staggered, so that each year the terms of about a quarter of the board expire. , which determines which applicants’ names will be forwarded to the Board of Trustees for final approval, is composed of EAB members.

## How to Apply
### The 2025 United States and Canada Competition is now closed.
The 2026 competition will open for applications in late summer 2025.
## Important Notes
All applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or Canada at the time of application.
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.
Guggenheim Fellowships are not open to students (undergraduate, graduate, or postgraduate).
We regret that our awards are not available to support the writing of literature for children or young readers, or support any other type of work (e.g., films, plays, etc.) intended for young audiences.
Anthology, oral history, e-book, or textbook projects are not supported by our awards.
Published writing not regarded as appropriate for our competition includes self-published works, publications for which the author has paid, and publications by publishers who do not engage in a process of critical review of submitted work. In addition, genre work (e.g., mysteries, romance, fantasy, etc.) is not within our scope.
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.
The Latin American and Caribbean competition is currently suspended while we examine the workings and efficacy of the program. The U.S. and Canadian competition is unaffected by this suspension.
