The Fund for American Studies sponsors semester and summer LIVE. LEARN. INTERN. academic internship programs based in Washington, DC. Each program includes courses for transferable credit from George Mason University, a guaranteed internship placement, furnished housing on George Washington University’s downtown campus, a variety of guest lectures and briefings, as well as opportunities for professional development and networking. Classes, internships and other program components are specific to the institute’s subject matter.
TFAS has a $4,000 scholarship from a University of Memphis alumnus to award to a current Memphis undergraduate. The remaining cost to be paid by the student would be $2,995 for the six credit option or $4,495 for the nine credit option (this includes tuition and housing). A University of Memphis student has taken advantage of this annually for the past decade. There are prerequisites for certain programs and the alum would prefer the student be returning to campus to be involved as a campus leader. Please let Meta Laabs mlaabs@memphis.edu or 901-678-5271 know of your possible interest by February 18 and we will meet soon thereafter to discuss the details and next steps. I can also connect you with past program participants. The final application deadline is early March.
Preference will be given to rising sophomores and juniors who can bring their experience back and impact our campus.
