  • Our Education Program focuses on expanding student access to higher education and opening avenues to academic success, particularly for those historically left out of the picture
  • New technology presents apparently limitless opportunities for interactivity and access to books, lectures, and libraries from anywhere in the world and is rapidly changing the traditional model of higher education.
  • We want to propel more low-income, first-generation, underrepresented students into two- and four-year institutions and ensure they have the skills and support to stay and graduate.

  • We seek to build the capacity of institutions whose primary missions are to serve low-income, underrepresented, underprepared, and first-generation college students.
  • We want to help institutions lower the cost of delivering an education while retaining or enhancing quality.
  • We most often award grants in collaboration with other funders and support established organizations.
  • South Africa is our sole international effort.
  • We look for groups of institutions or partnerships designed to broadly increase graduation rates.
  • We provide support for innovations in online education

    WASHINGTON (January 15, 2015) - A new joint grant program by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation seeks to give a second life to outstanding out-of-print books in the humanities by turning them into freely accessible e-books. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will jointly provide $1 million to convert out-of-print books into EPUB e-books with a Creative Commons (CC) license, ensuring that the books are freely downloadable with searchable texts and in formats that are compatible with any e-reading device. Books proposed under the Humanities Open Book program must be of demonstrable intellectual significance and broad interest to current readers.
