 | | NEW YORK: Jhumpa Lahiri, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2000, for her debut book, ‘Interpreter of Maladies,’ was named on April 11, one of the winners of the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship Awards 2002, by Joel Conarroe, president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. |
 | | Since 1925, when the foundation was set up by Sen. Simon Guggenheim in memory of his son who had died at the age of 17, it has granted over $200 million in fellowships to over 15,000 individuals. |
 | | Conarroe said that in a time of decreased funding for individuals in the arts, humanities and sciences, the Guggenheim fellowship program has assumed an increased importance, because the foundation funds only individuals, and not institutions. |
