If you’d like to be in the company of Ta-nehisi
Coates along with countless other “geniuses,”
the MacArthur Fellowship Grant is for you.
For more than three decades, the prestigious
MacArthur Foundation has supported creative
people and their powerful “global betterment”
efforts through substantial monetary support
over the course of a five year period. Although
you cannot apply and must be nominated, it’s
great to check out their guidelines for more
information, you know, just in case.
When people
think about an
internship, they
envision getting
coffee, running
errands, and
slaving away
behind a copy
machine where
everyone knows you
as the 'intern'. ”
