Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
Duration: 24-May-2025 to 07-Jun-2025
Voluntary
Internship Location: Ann Arbor, MI, USA
We are not able to accept students currently enrolled at the
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Students currently enrolled at
University of Michigan-Flint and University of Michigan-Dearborn are
encouraged to apply.
We seek rising seniors, bachelor’s degree holders, and those currently
in terminal M.A. programs, who are United States citizens, permanent
residents, or non-U.S. citizens with DACA. Please note, those who are
currently applying to enroll in a doctoral program for Fall 2025 are
ineligible to participate in MICHHERS.
Applicants must also meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Come from an educational, cultural, or geographic background that is
underrepresented in graduate study in their discipline in the United
States or at the University of Michigan.
- Have demonstrated a commitment to diversity in the academic,
professional, or civic realm through their work experience, volunteer
engagement, or leadership of student or community organizations. By
diversity, we mean efforts to reduce social, educational, or economic
disparities based on race, ethnicity, or gender, or to improve race
relations in the United States.
- Have experienced financial hardship as a result of family economic
circumstances.
- Be a first-generation U.S. citizen or will be the first in their
families to graduate from a four-year college or university.
For 2025, students interested in the fields of Asian languages and
cultures, classical studies, history, linguistics, romance languages
and literatures, and sociology (qualitative) are eligible. There is
also the option of the transdisciplinary track within the MICHHERS
2025 cohort, which is designed for students whose interests do not
align neatly within our participating programs.

Description:
Students will have the opportunity to work on a piece of their own
scholarship or develop a research project in consultation with U-M
faculty and graduate students in their field. Attention will also be
given to articulating the importance of diversity to the development
of the humanities. Students will receive practical instruction on
applying to graduate school and pursuing careers inside and outside
academia.

Application Deadline: 10-Feb-2025
