The fundamental objective of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) is to address, over time, the problem of underrepresentation in the academy at the level of college and university faculties. This goal can be achieved both by increasing the number of students from underrepresented minority groups (URM) who pursue Ph.D.'s and by supporting the pursuit of Ph.D.'s by students who may not come from traditional minority groups but have otherwise demonstrated a commitment to the goals of MMUF.

The MMUF program is designed to encourage fellows to enter Ph.D. programs that prepare students for professorial careers. Princeton's MMUF program accomplishes this through a two-year cohort experience that begins the summer before the junior year and continues through graduation. The hallmarks of the program include individualized faculty mentorship; professional development; campus, regional, and national networking; and funded support for students' independent work.
