Visual Resources Association Scholarship
Posted July 7, 2023
The clock is ticking! Applications for the 11th VRA Internship Award in visual resources and image management are due by July 31, 2023. This internship is generously funded by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
The VRA Internship Award provides financial support for graduate students and recent graduates preparing for a career in visual resources and image management. The award grants:
- $3,000.00 to support a period of internship in archives, libraries, museums, visual resources collections in academic institutions, or other appropriate contexts
- $1,000.00 for professional development
- A one-year complimentary student membership in the Visual Resources Association
Candidates should apply after developing a project with a specific collection and prospective supervisor. Priority is given to applicants who submit projects that support art historical or related visual cultural heritage research and scholarship. The VRA Internship Award Committee favors opportunities in which the intern may integrate skills acquired during the course of the intern’s academic training to manage a project from beginning to end, with the host institution receiving needed help in making valuable cultural collections visible. Projects that would not occur without funding for an intern may be given special consideration.
A complete description of the internship and application instructions are available at the bottom of our Internship Award page.
