Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship
Program Overview
The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) is designed to increase diversity in the faculty ranks of higher education institutions.
Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and established in 2000 at Smith College, MMUF Fellows come from underrepresented backgrounds. They are selected based on their desire and commitment to pursue doctoral studies and a teaching career in higher education in a Mellon-designated field of study. The fellowship is not intended to support students who intend to go on to law school, medical school, or other professional schools.
