Application Procedure:
How
to Apply: Transcripts uploaded to Interfolio
technically are considered “unofficial.” Uploaded transcripts are required and
accepted at the time of application; finalists may be asked to submit official
paper transcripts. If your graduate institution does not list grades on
transcripts, please note the circumstances in your personal statement. The
certification of degree requirement is intended for applicants who do not yet
have a Ph.D. but expect to complete one by the June 30th that
precedes that start date of this fellowship. Such applicants should submit a
letter on institutional letterhead attesting to their anticipated schedule for
completion. It may be signed by the advisor, chair of the department, or other
relevant faculty member. Interfolio may mark as “incomplete” any application
that does not have a document uploaded in the “certification of degree” spot.
Applicants who have earned their Ph.D. may upload in this spot a transcript or
digital image of their diploma. Fellowship applications and departmental
requests to house a fellow will be evaluated by the Leslie Center’s Advisory
Committee, in consultation with the Associate Deans of the Faculty for the Arts
& Humanities, Social Sciences, and Interdisciplinary & International
Programs. Strong fellowship applications will be circulated to relevant
departments and programs, which will then be invited to apply for one of the
candidates. Departments and programs will be expected to justify requests for a
fellow by detailing the benefits expected from, and afforded to, that fellow,
and by indicating how the fellow might contribute something new, or currently
lacking, to the intellectual life of the college. There is no requirement that
the fellows be U.S. citizens, but the Mellon Foundation does want to see the
fellowships awarded to individuals who seem likely to make their careers in the
United States.
