At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program

The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) Program is the centerpiece of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s initiatives to increase diversity in the faculty ranks of colleges and universities. This office operates from the foundational principle that diversity in hiring, enrollment, and that encouraging a range of scholarship and scholars in the academy are directly related to the betterment of career opportunities and life opportunities available to scholars, and by extension, to the country.

The deadline for submitting an application is always the first day of the start of spring quarter. For this year, the deadline is March 30, 2009.

Please submit your completed application to Elise LaRose, Assistant Dean of Students in the College. You can turn your application in at the second floor of Harper, at the reception desk of the Dean of Students Office.
