The goal of the Meiklejohn Fellows Program is to advance equal opportunity for post-graduate success by providing robust career resources and support to Amherst College students from families with low incomes, and to those who are the first in their families to attend college. This goal is achieved through a combination of dedicated advising, programming, peer-to-peer support, and summer internship funding. Beginning in their first year at the college, first-generation and/or low income (FLI) students are encouraged to both apply to and participate in the academic year-long cohort program. Once a student becomes a Meiklejohn Fellows, they retain this distinction during their entire time at Amherst.
