Description:
Mellon Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) Summer Undergraduate
Internships

The Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) Undergraduate Summer
Internship provides an opportunity for three undergraduates to conduct
research, to explore career possibilities in archives and special
collections, and to learn about advanced training in Native American
and Indigenous Studies and related fields. This eight-week paid
internship program at the American Philosophical Society’s Library &
Museum in Philadelphia will offer hands-on research experience and
will include mentorship and networking opportunities.

The APS’s Library & Museum has rich and varied collections related to
over 650 different Indigenous cultures throughout the Americas.
Working with mentors, interns will develop their own archives-based
projects or pursue research projects identified by the Indigenous
communities with which the Center for Native American and Indigenous
Research (CNAIR) interacts and collaborates.

The 2025 NASI Summer Internship will take place from June 9 to August
1, 2025, with a break for the week of July 4th. During this time
students will work at the APS’s Library & Museum and will also have
the opportunity to share their work with a variety of audiences. NASI
Summer Interns will join a vibrant intellectual community at the APS
that includes other scholars working with Native American and
Indigenous materials as well as undergraduate summer interns and
library fellows from different scholarly fields.

Interns will receive a stipend of $3000, as well as travel support to
and from Philadelphia at the beginning and end of the internship and
to return home during the July 4th holiday break. The APS will secure
and cover the costs of housing in Philadelphia.

The Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) is funded by a grant
from The Mellon Foundation. NASI supports research in the field of
Native American and Indigenous Studies and related fields by
undergraduates, Native American scholars, Tribal College faculty
members, and researchers who work closely with archives and Native
communities.

The Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at the American
Philosophical Society Library & Museum focuses on helping Indigenous
communities and scholars to discover and utilize the APS collections
in innovative ways. For more information, please visit
