Susan, Ten Chimneys incorporates planned money for internships as an annual budget line item under Preservation. In my last job, I was able to fund a paid graduate student internship under a grant for a specific exhibit project. As an undergrad, one of my paid internships was funded as part of a grant for a collections preservation project. You may also look to community businesses or groups that might be interested in sponsoring a student worker. - Cait Cait Dallas, Curator of Collections Ten Chimneys Foundation P.O.
