Students can also apply through the Career & Civic Engagement Center for internship support. A number of funds are available including The Barbara G. Kaplan '56 and Denise B. Kandel '52 Internship Fund which is designated to support internships in the areas of community and international development, giving preference to internships in the arts or to students to explore non-traditional careers. The Arts Summer Internship Fund supports a summer internship, project, or field experience in or related to the visual or performing arts. Preference goes to proposals that involve working with artists in the creation of art and/or involve learning techniques. Check with the Center about application process at the beginning of the Spring semester. See also Summer Funding.
