Five College Fellowship Program

Date Posted October  7, 2014

Employment Type Full-time

Five College Fellowships offer year-long residencies for doctoral students completing dissertations. The program supports scholars from under-represented groups, and/or scholars with unique interests and histories, whose engagement in the Academy will

enrich scholarship and teaching.  Applications are welcome from students in any field of the Humanities, Fine Arts or Social Sciences.  Normally, four fellowships are awarded each

year.

Each Fellow is hosted within an appropriate department or program at Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. (At Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) Application is to the Program, not a specific hosting campus.

This is a residential fellowship. Fellows are provided research and teaching mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and scholars across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office also supports meetings of the Fellows throughout the year.

The fellowship includes a stipend of $30,000, a research grant, health benefits, office space, housing or housing assistance, and library privileges at all five campuses. While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation, most fellows teach a single semester-long course at their hosting institution.
