Undergrads this remarkable opportunity may be just the thing for you! April
4 deadline. Apply early!

Remember research is deeply related to creative writing and this
opportunity is meant to prep scholarship recipients for graduate school!

MMUF program - deadline April 4

UCR’s CIS / MMUF is hosting a second round of recruitment for the Mellon
Mays program and I heartily encourage you to apply if eligible!!!

The first round of recruitment generated a small pool of applicants, and we
have additional spots available.

The program has *amazing* benefits (funding, mentorship, support for grad
school applications, etc)!

They have a very quick eligibility check (linked below) that students can
fill out in less than a minute. They will follow up with each student
personally to confirm their eligibility and to share the application.

Deadline for full applications is April 4, 2025.

Thank you in advance for your help ~

*About:*
The MMUF program is designed to encourage undergraduate students majoring

prepare students for professorial careers in the arts, humanities, and
social sciences. Fellows in the MMUF program pursue independent research
projects on topics that amplify perspectives and contributions that have
been marginalized within the conventional scholarly record, and that
promote the realization of a more socially just world. The program is
committed to “multivocality”,  the expression of multiple and diverse
narratives of thought, scholarship, and discourse, and supports students
with passions and interests that align with these goals.
