The MMUF program exists to counter the underrepresentation of marginalized groups in college and university faculties nationwide, specifically in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. The fellowship encourages applications from students of color, students from marginalized backgrounds, and others with a demonstrated commitment to racial diversity who are sophomores concentrating in the humanities and social sciences. Applicants must have clear interests in learning about graduate school and professorial careers in the humanities and humanistic social sciences and strongly considering the pursuit of a PhD within these fields. In addition to receiving a fellowship to focus on independent research in junior and senior years, students participate in professional development workshops (on preparing for graduate school, life in the academy, graduate student life) and lectures at least twice per month with their cohort, during their two-year tenure in the program. Application deadline: February 7, 2023, 11:59PM ET (in the evening!)
