Encyclopedia > MacArthur Fellows Program

The MacArthur Fellows Program or MacArthur Fellowship (sometimes nicknamed the "genius grant") is an award given by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation each year to typically 20 to 40 citizens or residents of the U.S., of any age and working in any field, who "show exceptional merit and promise for continued and enhanced creative work." According to the Foundation website, "the fellowship is not a reward for past accomplishment, but rather an investment in a person's originality, insight, and potential." The current amount of the award is $500,000, paid in quarterly installments over five years. There have been 707 recipients to date. The MacArthur Foundation has distributed over $350,000,000 to these recipients. This article or section seems to contain too many examples (or of a poor quality) for an encyclopedia entry. ...

A recipient is defined as an entity which receives a good or service. ...


The Fellowship has no application. People are nominated anonymously, by a body of nominators who submit recommendations to a small selection committee of about a dozen people, also anonymous. The committee then reviews every nominee and passes along their recommendations to the President and the board of directors. The entire process is anonymous and confidential. Most new MacArthur Fellows first learn that they have even been considered when they receive the congratulatory phone call.

MacArthur Fellows Program - Frequently Asked Questions (2471 words)
The MacArthur Fellows Program functions under two assumptions: first, that human creativity is wonderfully diverse, and second, that individuals are likely to be more productive if they have support for their vision and the opportunity to design their working conditions.
At present, the policies of the MacArthur Fellows Program are handled by the Board of Directors acting as the Committee of the Whole.
The other major program is the Program on Global Security and Sustainability, which focuses on arms reduction and security policy, ecosystems conservation and policy, population, and a number of integrated themes.
2004 MacArthur Fellows Announcement (612 words)
The MacArthur Fellows Program underscores the importance of the creative individual in society.  Fellows are selected for their originality, creativity, and the potential to do more in the future.  Candidates are nominated, evaluated, and selected through a rigorous and confidential process.  No one may apply for the awards, nor are any interviews conducted.
The MacArthur Fellows Program places no restrictions on how recipients may use the $500,000, and no reports are required.  Just as there are no restrictions on how the Fellows may use their awards, there are no constraints on the kinds of creativity that are recognized.
The MacArthur Fellows Program was the first major grantmaking initiative of the Foundation.  The inaugural class of MacArthur Fellows was named in 1981.  Including this year’s Fellows, 682 people, ranging in age from 18 to 82, have been named MacArthur Fellows since the inception of the program.
