List of Guggenheim Fellowships awarded in 1979
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two hundred and ninety-one scholars, artists, and scientists received Guggenheim Fellowships in 1979.[1][2][3] $4,655,000 was disbursed among the recipients, who were chosen from an applicant pool of 2,974.[4][5] 123 schools were represented,[6][4] with University of California, Berkeley and Columbia University tied for most faculty winners (9 each), followed by Cornell University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Minnesota, and University of Pennsylvania (8 each).[7][8][5] The University of California system had 26 fellowships total among its faculty.[9]
Kurt Baier of the University of Pittsburgh was awarded a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation a month prior to the Guggenheim announcement. Awardees are unable to accept both, so Baier declined the Guggenheim.[7][10]
