We are offering a limited number of paid 12 week internships for the Summer and Fall of 2016. The program is designed to provide students a professional learning experience through participation in various divisions of the National Geographic Society. Individual projects and assignments will vary, but most include some degree of research, writing, working in teams, self-direction, and being able to manage many tasks at once. We are looking for well-rounded students who have a breadth of interests and work experiences, and who are committed to the field of geography.
The deadline for receiving completed applications for both semesters is April 8, 2016. Students are required to apply online here. Students must furnish all of the following materials in PDF form, attached to the online application:
