Humanities internships

The Foothill-De Anza Community College District has been awarded a $1.5 million grant from the Mellon Foundation to launch the Humanities Scholars Work Experience. This program will provide 250 students with paid internships in humanities-related fields in the next four years.

These internships, paid at $20 per hour, are intended to give students insight into humanities-based career opportunities and help them gain an edge in transferring to four-year colleges.
