2018-2021 Mellon Fellows

Since 2018, the Mellon Fellowship Program has placed recent humanities PhDs with NPS sites and programs across the agency to advance the NPS education mission through new scholarship in the humanities. The work of the Mellon Fellows has had an impact on dozens of park units and agency programs as well as broad public audiences with special event series focused on monuments, memorials, and historical memory as well as gender, race, class, and the vote.

In summer 2022, the Mellon Foundation announced an expansion of the program that included support for an additional thirty-one postdoctoral fellowships beginning in fall 2023.
