Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF)


Since 2000, Emory's Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program (MMUF) has supported undergraduates who feel called to earn a doctorate and teach at the college or university level. Administered by the Department of African American Studies, the MMUF Program also creates opportunities for undergraduates to undertake research projects with Emory faculty members who function as mentors during the two-year period of this fellowship.

In addition to joining a national and international network of emerging scholars, Mellon fellows receive a stipend throughout the academic year, summer stipends, and the forgiveness of a percentage of undergraduate loans while earning a doctorate in a Mellon field or discipline.

Emory's MMUF Program supports undergraduates who feel called to the vocation of teaching, scholarship, and service.
