About the Mellon Mays Undgraduate Fellowship Program at UC Berkeley


The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) program at UC Berkeley targets students with exceptional academic promise and potential for careers that will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in the academy. The program supports Fellows by providing guidance, role models and the environment and resources to strive for the highest academic goals. Berkeley's MMUF program shapes the intellectual and professional development of the Fellows, and Fellows will realize their greatest potential as graduate students to later become extraordinarily successful faculty members and emerge as role models for future generations.
