Nancy Horton Bartels Scholar Internships 2008–9
Application deadline: Friday, March 28
Nancy Horton Bartels Scholar Internships provide funds for four undergraduate students to participate in academic year internships at the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art. The four internships are offered annually, two at the Gallery and two at the Center, and are funded by an endowment established in 2005 by Henry E. and Nancy Horton Bartels. Mr. and Mrs. Bartels are graduates of Cornell University.
The internships familiarize students with the operations of museums and curatorial departments. Interns work in a curatorial department for ten hours per week for two consecutive semesters and receive a stipend on an hourly basis.
Nancy Horton Bartels Scholar Internships are awarded to students who demonstrate superior performance in their respective fields. Applications must include: a cover letter describing the relevance of the potential internship to the student's larger goals, an official transcript of the student's undergraduate record, and two letters of recommendation from faculty. Students should be seniors, juniors, or sophomores during the time they hold the internship.

Gallery Guide Program
Yale undergraduates are invited to apply to become student Gallery Guides at the Yale University Art Gallery. Gallery Guides offer tours for the public and lead outreach programs for the community, such as after-school workshops for children. Guides also organize special programs at the Gallery, including lecture series and social events.
Training occurs during the fall semester, with sessions every Thursday and Friday from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. During training, students meet with curators and faculty to learn about the collection and the daily operations of the museum. After the first semester’s training, Gallery Guides lead tours of the collection and develop and maintain interpretive materials and programs. The time commitment is approximately five hours per week.
The application process for 2008–9 will be announced in spring 2008.
