Internships
Undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to apply for internships at the Museum. The Ludwig and Nancy Sternberger Charitable Foundation, the Young Boozer Family Foundation, and the Norton T. and G. Leonie Batkin Fund have all historically provided support. Most interns assist in the curatorial department with collections management and exhibition development, but some may work in other areas helping all staff in the Museum. Most of these opportunities are available only to Native American students.
If you are interested in any of the following internships, send a letter of interest, resume, and proof of enrollment from your college/university (can be current class schedule or unofficial transcripts).
