The
Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship
The
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation supports the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship
program at thirty-three American colleges and universities with the goals of increasing
the number of minorities and others on college faculties by helping students of
great promise to become scholars of distinction. Brooklyn College is one of the most successful in sending
well-prepared students to distinguished colleges and universities for graduate
study. Mellon Mays Fellows have entered
graduate programs leading to Ph.D. degrees at such universities as Berkeley, Chicago, Michigan, New York University,
Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale.
Many Fellows have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
Brooklyn College chooses five students each year to participate in The
Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship.
Applicants must be full-time students in the second semester of their
sophomore year (45-60 credits), and must show evidence of solid academic
achievement. Students must be interested
in pursuing graduate studies in the humanities, anthropology, cultural studies,
demography, mathematics, physics, geology, ecology, computer science, foreign
language, political theory, religion.
