We are not offering Summer Fellowships in 2025.
Our Summer Fellowship program may resume in summer 2026.
Current and continuing graduate students are welcome to apply for our 9-month fellowship for the 2025-26 academic year.
C21 offers project-oriented Summer Fellowship positions (with modest stipends) that provide career experience opportunities for students in the humanities, arts, social sciences, and library and information sciences. Summer fellows work on their individual projects and come together once a week as a team for information sharing and troubleshooting. All fellows are compensated with hourly pay during an eight-week intensive position that runs from June to August, with a May orientation. A summer project may include, but is not limited to, collecting oral histories, designing an exhibition, building a digital archive, assisting with grant applications, developing public programs, or editing digital publications. Summer projects are determined by C21 needs and current programmatic theme. Calls for Summer Fellowship positions are typically released in early spring.
Application Process
To apply, the following items are required:
- a one-page cover letter that outlines which project you’re interested in, what your relevant experience is, and how the position connects to your research and professional interests
- a curriculum vitae
- names and contact information for one faculty reference
All fellows will be compensated with hourly pay (20 hours / week for 8 weeks).
