Mellon Fellowships
The Andrew W. Mellon Fellowships in Humanistic Studies provide support
for first-year doctoral students in the humanities. The fellowship
covers tuition and fees and provides a stipend of $17,500.
Approximately 85 new fellowships are awarded each year out of
approximately 800 applicants. The fellowships are funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.
Students apply during their senior year of college. (College graduates
who have not yet matriculated in graduate school may also apply.) The
fellowship may be used for the first year of graduate school in a PhD
program in the humanities. Candidates must be US citizens or permanent
residents. The application deadline is December 1. Applications must be
requested through the web site by early to mid November.
