For over 30 years, the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship program, supported by the Andrew W. Foundation, has been helping undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds demystify and follow the sometimes difficult path to a career in academia with a focus in the humanities and social sciences.
Since its inception at Brown in 1992, over 120 Fellows have been selected and supported by the Brown MMUF program. Brown MMUF has four seminal components:
Undergraduate research
Individual faculty mentoring
Intellectual cohort community
Financial support in undergraduate and graduate school.

Each spring, four to six Brown sophomores are selected as Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellows. While individual Fellows pursue distinct independent research projects, as a cohort cohort, they are a tight-knit research community that together engage in pre-professional development workshops and seminars on research, graduate school, and careers in the academy.
