The American Indian College Fund is now accepting applications for three programs that offer financial support to current tribal college faculty for research and terminal degree completion. For questions or concerns please contact Ruben Hernandez, Project Coordinator at 303-426-8900 or via email at rhernandez@collegefund.org.
American Indian College Fund – Mellon Faculty Research Program
The goal of the American Indian College Fund - Mellon Faculty Research Program (Mellon Research Program) is to increase the number of American Indian faculty research projects within the tribal colleges and Indian communities. The Mellon Research Program will allow TCU faculty the necessary time off to complete scholarly articles and/or books, with the support of tribal college students who would serve as research assistants. The Mellon Research Program will award two to three $34,000 research fellowships each year, for a total of eight fellows upon program completion.

American Indian College Fund – Mellon Faculty Career Enhancement Fellowship Program
In 2004, the American Indian College Fund and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation partnered to establish the American Indian College Fund-Mellon Faculty Career Enhancement Fellowship Program (Mellon Fellowship). The intent of the Mellon Fellowship is to increase and retain the number of credentialed faculty at the nation's tribal colleges and universities. This fellowship will provide substantial financial and mentoring support to current TCU faculty in the final stages of a terminal degree program. Applicants must be ABD in an accredited terminal degree program. This prestigious and highly competitive award offers a $30,000 fellowship and a $2,250 travel stipend to selected fellows. Fellows are expected to pursue their terminal degree full–time. Click here for complete program description
American Indian College Fund – Faculty Development Grant
The American Indian College Fund-Faculty Development Grant Program provides financial support to a select group of current TCU faculty pursuing a Ph.D., Ed.D., or other terminal degrees. Eligible applicants must have completed required coursework and be in the process of collecting data and conducting research to complete their degree. Applicants do not have to be ABD to participate in the American Indian College Fund-Faculty Development Grant Program. The program offers small grants to current TCU faculty to complete research requirements and other activities that will contribute to degree attainment. Click here for complete program description.
