Mellon Humanities Internship Program
Program Introduction
Your humanities skills are valuable. Put them to work.
The humanities teach you to communicate, think critically, understand people and ideas, solve problems and see the world from different perspectives. These are skills employers need.
The Mellon Humanities Internship Program gives you the opportunity to put those skills to work, gain professional experience and explore careers where your humanities education can make an impact.
Eligible students receive $1,000 for completing a 50 hour internship, with in person, remote and hybrid opportunities available.

and goals for suitability and—if they meet the criteria—matches them with employers.
