Smithsonian Minority Internship
As part of
its mandate for "the increase and diffusion of knowledge,"
including the diverse ideas, skills, and cultures of our nation,
the Smithsonian Institution pursues policies of equal opportunity
and cultural diversity. Smithsonian fellowships and internships
are awarded on the basis of these policies. Applicants are evaluated
on their academic standing, scholarly qualifications, experiences,
the quality of the research project or study proposed and its
suitability to Smithsonian collections, facilities, and programs.
An internship
at the Smithsonian Institution is a prearranged, structured learning
experience scheduled within a specific time frame. The experience
must be relevant to the intern's academic and professional goals,
and to research and museum activities of the Institution. An internship
is performed under the direct supervision of Smithsonian staff.
Internships,
for the most part, are arranged individually. Information and
applications may be obtained by contacting the appropriate internship
coordinator or by contacting the Smithsonian Center for Education
and Museum Studies, the central referral service for internships.
