About
The Michigan Society of Fellows, under the auspices of the Rackham Graduate School, was established in 1970 with endowment grants from the Ford Foundation and the Horace H. and Mary Rackham Funds. Each year the Society selects outstanding applicants for appointment to three-year fellowships in the social, physical, and life sciences, the humanities, and in the professional schools.
Comments from former Fellows:
“I am immensely grateful to the Michigan Society of Fellows for the gift of the last three years. This protected time has allowed me to revise my dissertation, deepening and clarifying my argument in ways I could not have imagined three years ago; to read broadly in ways that will make me a better scholar; to complete another book project; to develop new courses in areas outside my core area of expertise, which I will continue teaching for years; to take intellectual risks and to be part of a vibrant community of scholars. Thank you.”
“My research and my writing have flourished over the past year due in large part to the friendships and intellectual communitas I have experience in the Society of Fellows. This aspect of the fellowship, more than any other, has transformed my research forever. For this, I am immensely grateful, honored, and humbled.”
