Five College Fellowship Program
Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith colleges and the University of
Massachusetts Amherst are members of the Five College consortium, which sup-
ports extensive academic and administrative collaborations among the campuses.
The five campuses are located in western Massachusetts, each within 12 miles of
the others.
The Five College Fellowship Program provides year-long residencies at one of the member
campuses for doctoral students completing dissertations. The chief goal of the program is to
promote diversity in the Academy while familiarizing Fellows with the five institutions. The
program’s intention is to support scholars from under-represented groups, and/or scholars
with unique interests and histories, whose engagement in the Academy will enrich scholar-
ship and teaching.
Each Fellow is hosted within an appropriate department or program at one of the four mem-
ber colleges. (At Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) The Fellowship includes a
stipend of $30,000, a research grant, health benefits, office space, housing or housing assis-
tance, and library privileges at all five campuses.
While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation, most Fellows
teach at the hosting institution, but never more than a single one-semester course.
