Elizabeth Bartman Museum Internship

The Elizabeth Bartman Museum Internship is a scholarship established in honor of AIA Honorary President Elizabeth Bartman to assist advanced undergraduates, graduate students, or those who have recently completed a master's degree with the expenses associated with participating in a museum internship either in the United States or abroad. The internship fund is intended to help students in Archaeology or a related field (such as Anthropology, Art History, Classics, or History) meet expenses associated with undertaking a museum internship with a minimum duration of a summer or semester. Specific projects may include collection cataloguing, provenance or archival research, exhibition preparation, writing of labels and didactic panels, assisting with websites and presentations in other media such as audio guides and exhibition videos, and participating more broadly in museum activities while working with conservators, art handlers, designers, and other museum professionals. The committee considers academic achievement, past experience, and financial need in its deliberations. AIA scholarships are open to students from all backgrounds, and students from historically marginalized communities are encouraged to apply.
