Mellon Humanities Internship Program
Student Success
Internships are a vital component to higher education. They help students learn practical
skills related to their chosen fields, gain valuable work experience for their resumés
and expand their professional networks.
The Mellon Foundation grant enables more students to reap the enhanced benefits of
paid internships while removing the financial barriers that prevent many from serving
as unpaid interns.
