Program Overview 

ACLS administers the annual reporting, renewal, and regranting process for the 44 individual member institutions and three consortia that participate in the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program (MMUF), funded by the Mellon Foundation. Founded in 1988, MMUF is the centerpiece of the Mellon Foundation’s initiatives to address the problem of underrepresentation in the faculty ranks of higher education. For more on the history and current activities of the program, please visit the program’s website.

ACLS hosts a secure web portal through which MMUF campus coordinators submit annual grant reports and renewal requests; over time, the ACLS MMUF portal has been further developed and expanded to collect valuable program statistics and data and to allow for more dynamic and standardized program budgeting across institutions.  

Resources 

The ACLS MMUF portal is only available for use by MMUF campus coordinators and university contacts. Please contact [email protected] with questions about portal access at your MMUF institution.
