Health + Humanities Internship Funding

Up to three students will be awarded funding to support internships in health + humanities with  organizations that contribute to healing through narrative.

• Priority will be given to those students taking an internship class for the Health Studies Minor.
• Applications for Spring ’25 Internship funding are open Dec 2 2024 - Jan 31 2025.
• Decisions will be made on a first come first serve basis, so please get your application in as soon as possible!

This support is made possible by the Center for Community and Global Health and a grant from Mellon Foundation. 

Applications for Health + Humanities Internship Funding are closed. They will open next in August ’25 for Fall semester internships.

Think your plans might be eligible for financial support? Great! Answer the following questions to find out:

• Have you found an internship you’re excited about at the intersection of health + humanities? We encourage applicants to think boldly and broadly about this definition!
• Is the organization you will be interning with local to Oregon or does its work support people locally?
• Is the internship position unpaid or underfunded?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are a good candidate for funding!
