Definition
The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship is a research fellowship offered to undergraduate students at Northwestern and other universities that are from historically underrepresented minority groups that are also interested in pursuing a PhD and teaching at the collegiate level one day. At Northwestern, there are 5 Fellows chosen for each cohort and the program is supported by the Office of the President.
Alternate Spellings/Abbreviation
- MMUF
Example Sentence
- I am interested in becoming a professor one day, so I applied for the Mellon Mays fellowship!
- Last summer, I worked on my MMUF research project at the Summer Opportunity Research Program through the Graduate School at Northwestern.
Why It's Wild
Though MMUF is a national program with cohorts at other universities, it is important at Northwestern because it is important in both the research and low-income community. They also hope that students they have recruited will come back and teach at Northwestern.
