Art Museum Scholar Summer Internships 2013
Application Deadline: Closed

Art Museum Scholar Summer Internships will provide funds for four undergraduate Yale students to participate in summer internships at the Yale University Art Gallery, the Yale Center for British Art, or other art museums. Art Museum Summer Scholar Interns will receive a stipend of up to $3,500. Internships must be eight weeks.

At least one of the four internships is to be held at the Yale University Art Gallery and one at the Yale Center for British Art.

Students seeking opportunities with other art museums must procure such internships on their own. Although the awards are open to students in any field, preference will be given to Yale students whose interests lie in American art and/or British art.

Internships will be awarded to students who demonstrate superior performance in their respective fields. Applications for the internship must include a cover letter describing the student’s interest in a particular aspect of the museum’s collection or operations and the relevance of the internship to the student’s larger goals, an official transcript of the student’s undergraduate record, and two letters of recommendation.

A letter confirming a secured internship will also be required.
