Mavis Future Faculty Fellow (Spring 2019)

The Mavis Future Faculty Fellows Academy is made possible by the generous bequest of Frederic T. and Edith F. Mavis. Dr. Mavis received his BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He was a professor of Civil Engineering at several universities and was the Dean of Engineering at the University of Maryland from 1957-67. He died in 1983. This fellowship is for students working on their PhD in the College of Engineering who are planning to become an engineering professor.

MF3 Fellows are admitted on a competitive basis. Selected fellows for the 2019-2020 academic year will receive an award of $2,000 for participating in the program, which is paid in two installments and is dependent on fellows completing the required milestones/assignments.  Fellows will be announced by April 15, 2019.
