The Smithsonian Center for Museum Studies is now accepting applications for the 1997 Vincent Wilkinson Internships, as part of the Center's Museum Intern Partnership Program. The Vincent Wilkinson Endowment Fund is a generous contribution from Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Welters. The fund, named in memory of Mrs. Welters' father, provides support for African American undergraduate students to participate in the Museum Intern Partnership Program. The 1997 partnerships are: 1. National Museum of African Art and Spelman College Museum of Fine Art 2. National Museum of American History-Program in African American Culture and Great Plains Black Museum The two selected interns will spend ten weeks at the Smithsonian (June 9 - August 15, 1997) and then intern at the partner site in either Atlanta, GA or Omaha, NE (September - December 1997.) The program concludes with a two day evaluation session, tentatively scheduled for January 15 - 16, 1998, at the Smithsonian. During the ten week program at the Smithsonian, selected interns will receive a weekly stipend of $250.00. The program will provide a grant of $500.00 to participants during the fall segment and will also provide a $500.00 travel allowance to help defray travel and living expenses for the two day evaluation session in Washington, DC, tentatively scheduled for January 15-16, 1998.
