Rising Tulane juniors and seniors are invited to apply for fellowships that will enable them to work with Tulane graduate students from the Tulane Mellon Graduate Program in Community-Engaged Scholarship. Projects focus on social justice issues, including the digitization and public accessibility of black periodicals, art making with formerly incarcerated youth, oral histories with Ashe Cultural Arts Center, honoring the historical and cultural significance of the Lower Ninth Ward, open access in Guatemalan archaeology through board game development, and gender and sexuality diversity in Brazil.
Summer Fellows can earn three hours of internship credit, fulfill Tulane’s second-tier service requirement, and receive $1000. (Eligibility for the Public Service option may vary depending on the department from which you receive internship credit.) The two-month fellowship takes place from June 7th to July 30th and consists of one hundred hours of work on community-engaged projects in partnership with Tulane graduate students and their community partners, as well as an asynchronous Topics in Community Engagement (TCE) internship seminar.
Applicants interested in receiving Public Service credit must also apply to participate in the Summer 2023 Public Service Internship Program by June 1st. Please list your major as your Department of Credit and indicate that you have been accepted by the Mellon Undergraduate Summer Fellowship Program. Internship seminars start the week of June 6th and end July 22nd.
