STIPENDS FOR (OTHERWISE) UNPAID INTERNSHIPS SUMMARY This program offers stipends of up to $3,000 for students to participate in a non-credit summer internship pertaining to the Humanities that would otherwise not offer remuneration. The student is reimbursed at a maximum work study rate ($8.50/hr.). Normally the Center offers up to three stipends per year. Examples of institutions at which Loyola students held internships in previous years include: The Baltimore Museum of Art; The Walters Art Gallery; Evergreen House (Fine Arts); The Hispanic Apostolate of the Archdiocese of Baltimore; The Hispanic Affairs Office of the Mayor's Office (Modern Languages and Literatures); Baltimore Magazine; The Baltimore Sun; WPOC; WYPR (English, Communication); The Maryland Historical Society; Congressional Offices, The Museum of Industry; The B & O Railroad Museum (History).
