Internships & Fellowships

The Center for the Environment offers competitive summer Leadership Fellowships, which fund challenging internships arranged exclusively for Mount Holyoke students. These fellowships fund opportunities at selected nonprofit organizations and are individually arranged with sponsors to provide students with connections beyond those offered by typical internship programs. Students with interest and relevant background, and majoring in any field, may apply.

These funded positions will be awarded during the spring semester to the most qualified candidates.  Follow the instructions on the Universal Application Form, due on March 3. The selected students are expected to follow the MHC internship guidelines throughout their internship.
