Internships
The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation offers internships for undergraduate and graduate students who are seeking job experience and continued education. Applications generally require guidelines for students, including:
- current enrollment as a undergraduate student, graduate student or have graduated within the current school year
- maintaining or close to a 3.0 grade point average.
Guidelines may vary depending on the specific internship. Please be aware that internships are not available in every area each semester. The programs can vary each semester on an as-needed basis.
