The 22 fellows will each receive a grant of $800,000 over five years to spend however they want. They were selected from nominations in a yearslong process that solicits input from their communities and peers. Fellows do not apply and are never officially informed that they’ve been nominated unless they are selected for the award.

MacArthur Foundation announced Tuesday its 2024 class of fellows, often known as recipients of the “genius grant.” The 22 fellows will each receive a grant of $800,000 over five years to spend however they want.

Reservation Dogs' co-creator and showrunner Sterlin Harjo is among the 22 recipients of the MacArthur Foundation's 2024 'Genius Grant' fellowships.
