*AMF does not discriminate based on race/ethnicity, citizenship, disability, gender or sexual identity, or economic status. For the purposes of our grants an academic mama is therefore defined as a self-identified mother, regardless of sex assigned at birth, or biological parenthood status, who is either a student or academic professional. Grants are given in order of need. Although we would love to fund everyone, that just isn’t possible.
