Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship





I have the pleasure of inviting you to nominate candidates for the Mellon 
Mays Undergraduate Fellowship.  As many of you know, the fellowship, now 
in its eighteenth year at Queens, supports exceptional undergraduates who 
plan to attain the Ph.D. and enter the professoriate. 

Eligible students should be sophomores with outstanding academic potential 
and an interest in pursuing a Ph.D.  They must identify themselves as 
minority students or have a demonstrated commitment to "eradicating racial 
disparities" and promoting racial and ethnic understanding.  In addition, 
they must have a GPA of 3.3 or above and be majors in one of the following 
Mellon-designated fields: 

Anthropology            Area Studies            Art History Classics 
Computer Science        Demography              Earth Science Ecology
English                 Ethnomusicology Foreign Languages       Geology
History                 Literature              Mathematics Musicology 
Philosophy              Physics                 Political Theory Religion
Sociology 
 
Students selected for the fellowship receive two years of financial and 
intellectual support.  In addition to receiving tuition reimbursement and 
an annual stipend of up to $7,000, they work closely with a faculty mentor 
to prepare for advanced study in their fields.

The participation of the Queens College faculty, both in nominating 
students and in serving as their mentors, is crucial to the continued 
success of the program.  I urge you to consider nominating a student this 
year.  Applications are due on Monday, April 14, 2008. 
Completed applications can be dropped off at Delany Hall, Room 125.
The application form can be downloaded and printed from the following 
link: www.qc.cuny.edu/qcmellon/pdfs/applicationform.pdf . 
Feel free to duplicate and distribute the application form to potential 
candidates.  There will be an open house for prospective fellows on 
Monday, March 17, 12:15-1 pm in the Honors Center/ Temp II.  Please 
encourage the students you wish to nominate to attend.

The program appreciates your continued support.  For more information, 
call the Mellon office at 718-997-2845 or me at 718-997-2806 or visit our 
Web site, www.qc.cuny.edu/qcmellon/.
