Description: The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) is dedicated to forging a just academy and shaping the future of the humanities. A core objective of MMUF, as part of the Higher Learning program of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is multivocality. This refers to MMUF's commitment to elevating the knowledge that informs more complete and accurate narratives of the human experience and lays the foundation for more just and equitable futures. MMUF strives to amplify perspectives and contributions that have been marginalized within the conventional scholarly record and that promote the realization of a more socially just world. Student applicants to MMUF will be evaluated based on their prior coursework, their plans for a major, and their potential to bring historically marginalized or underrepresented perspectives to the academy, including by producing scholarly research that reflects and satisfies multivocality. The MMUF program is designed to encourage sophomore and junior Fellows to enter Ph.D. programs that prepare students for professorial careers in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. It is not intended to support students who plan to go on to medical school, law school, or other professional school programs.
