UCLA Faculty Win 8 Guggenheim Fellowships

Simon Guggenheim

Below is a listing of the eight Guggenheim Fellowship winners from UCLA this year. According to the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation,

"Guggenheim Fellowships are grants to selected individuals made for a minimum of six months and a maximum of twelve months. Since the purpose of the Guggenheim Fellowship program is to help provide Fellows with blocks of time in which they can work with as much creative freedom as possible, grants are made freely. No special conditions attach to them, and Fellows may spend their grant funds in any manner they deem necessary to their work."*
