More information: https://www.qc.cuny.edu/Academics/Honors/mellonmays. Details about the fellowship: Mellon fellows receive: * two years of tuition reimbursement * an annual stipend of up to $7,000 * mentorship from a faculty member in preparation for doctoral work Mellon fellows should have: * sophomore standing * a 3.3+ GPA * minority identity or demonstrated commitment to eradicating racial disparities and promoting racial and ethnic understanding * a major in one of the Mellon areas, which are: * Anthropology * Area Studies * Art History * Classics * Demography * Ecology * English * Ethnomusicology * Film, Cinema, & Media Studies * Foreign Languages * Geography & Population Studies * History * Linguistics * Literature * Philosophy * Political Theory Religion * Sociology * Theater (nonperformance focus) Let me know if you have any questions, and happy Fourth!
