Canada Fellowship class of 2008 numbers 191, chosen from over 2,600 applicants.  In the eighty-three years since their establishment, Guggenheim Fellowships have grown not only in number but in prestige, becoming one of the most sought-after and highly valued of all Fellowship awards.<br/>  </p> <p><a class="LinkMore"

goodwill and understanding between the United States and its southern neighbors, Senator Simon Guggenheim established a second endowment to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in 1929 to fund Fellowships first to citizens of Mexico and a limited number of South American countries, and eventually to all citizens of Latin America and the Caribbean.</p> <p><a class="LinkMore"
