Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship

The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) is committed to broadening the range of scholarly perspectives in the U.S. academy by supporting promising undergraduates who are considering graduate study toward the Ph.D. in selected fields. MMUF provides mentoring, financial and research support, as well as activities that promote student cohort building. This grant supports approximately ten students every year (five juniors and five seniors) with stipends, travel and research funding, faculty mentoring, and other support to help them pursue academic careers with a focus on the humanities and the humanistic social sciences.
