Jack Handford Summer Internship
The Western Region actively supports student members who show promise as new professionals and encourages institutions and students to apply for the Jack Handford Summer Internship offered every other year, i.e. 2026 and 2028. The internship is appropriate for students with majors such as costume studies, material culture, museum studies, fashion history, or similar. Student applicants must be undergraduates in their third year of instruction or any year following, including graduate students. The internship is intended to average duration of six weeks or a total of 120 hours. The grant may change depending on the budget; the 2024 winner received $3,000.
Student applicants must be current CSA Western Region members to apply. The application deadline for institutions is December 1st, usually odd number years, and for students is March 1st, the following even number years. Check the forms:
