MacArthur Fellowship [ ]
The MacArthur Fellowship , or "Genius Grant", is a prize awarded annually by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation typically to between 20 and 30 individuals, working in any field, who have shown "extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction" and are citizens or residents of the United States. It is a "no strings attached" award and MacArthur fellows each receive a stipend of $625,000, paid out over five years in quarterly installments. The Fellows program began in 1981 and to date has included 942 people from a variety of disciplines in the arts and sciences.[92]
In 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with 23 other individuals, was named as a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship. He was recognized for "reimagining American musical theater in works that fuse traditional storytelling with contemporary musical styles and voices", namely his musicals In the Heights and Hamilton .[93]
