Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship
MMUF Graduate and PhD initiatives
DateSeptember 11, 2025
MMUF’s support for fellows continues as they enter graduate school and into their postdoctoral and faculty careers.
Mellon provides this ongoing support by awarding grants to two nonprofit organizations with extensive experience administering academic programs: the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and the Institute for Citizens & Scholars (IC&S).
With supervision from MMUF staff, the ACLS and IC&S administer a broad array of professional development opportunities and grants designed to provide targeted support to fellows who are enrolled in eligible PhD programs or have completed the doctorate.

“By the time I got to grad school, I knew that Mellon was special, that there was something very distinct about it . . . I knew I was onto something.”
