About us
The fundamental objective of MMUF is to increase the number of students of color (particularly African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native Americans), and others with a demonstrated commitment to eradicating racial disparities, who will pursue PhDs in core fields in the arts and sciences. The program aims to reduce over time the serious underrepresentation on the faculties of individuals from these groups, as well as to address the attendant educational consequences of these disparities. The program serves the related goals of structuring campus environments so that they will be more conducive to improved racial and ethnic relations, and of providing role models for all youth.Current Programs
The MMUF program is administered by approximately one hundred campus coordinators at 42 institutions, and a consortium of 39 historically black colleges and universities within the membership of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). Five rising juniors are chosen on each campus every year, and 25 for the UNCF consortium schools.
