Welcome to the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program at the Claremont Colleges!

We support the intellectual and professional development of MMUF fellows at the Claremont Colleges as they prepare for application to and success in doctoral programs. In so doing, we commit to supporting demographic transformation in higher education and to promoting the value of multivocality in the humanities and related disciplines.

MMUF was established in 1988 and has supported more than 1,100 fellows in earning their PhD. Through a pipeline process that emphasizes mentoring, research support, programming, and student cohort building, the Mellon Foundation partners with member colleges and universities to identify and support students of great promise and to help them become scholars and professionals of the highest distinction.
