Awards may not be used for computer hardware/software or general living expenses, and selections are made on the scholarly merit of applications. Eligible applicants are alumni of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship program who are Ph.D. candidates having completed coursework and comprehensive exams and with a dissertation topic approved by their advisor.
