Humanities Summer Institute
The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation have created the Mellon-Schomburg Humanities Summer Institute to encourage minority students and others with an interest in African-American and African Diasporan Studies to pursue graduate degrees in the humanities. The program, open to U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents, offers a six-week session for ten rising undergraduate seniors. Five will be selected from New York City and the remainder from Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the nation. The Institute, with the help of renowned scholars, will develop and nurture the students’ interest in the appropriate disciplines, and provide them with the requisite basic intellectual challenges and orientations needed to pursue humanities careers and to reach their full potential.
