The Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship is a multi-year program providing fellows with hand-on experience at the High Museum, working with curators and staff on exhibitions, collections, and programs. The Fellowship has two components: First students apply to attend the Summer Academy at the High Museum during the summer after their first or second year. After successful completion of the week-long summer program, they may then be invited to apply for the multi-year fellowship. During the academic year, fellows meet with their mentors and a program coordinator on a regular basis. During the following two summers, fellows participate in 10-week intensive internships. Fellows receive a $4,000 stipend during the academic year and a $6,000 stipend during the summer internships. Applicants must have strong academic records and a demonstrated interest in art, art history, or the museum field.
