The High Museum of Art is requesting your involvement in launching the Andrew W. Mellon Undergraduate Fellowship Program. This five year program is part of the Mellon Foundation’s initiative to expand the diversity of art museum audiences and curatorial ranks. It provides specialized mentoring in the museum field for students of diverse perspectives and backgrounds, with the aim of fostering an interest in museum careers and providing tangible pathways towards those goals. With national funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the High Museum is one of five partnering institutions that include the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Amy D'Unger at amy.dunger@hts.gatech.edu

To launch this program in Atlanta, they seek to recruit for this June fifteen exceptional undergraduate candidates to participate in a week-long Summer Academy designed to offer an overview of the curatorial profession. Two participants will be selected to continue on as Fellows for their Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, with a generous annual stipend for summer internships and continued engagement during the academic year. 

The Fellows program also contributes funds towards housing and travel related to the program. The program will lead Fellows through a series of hands-on learning opportunities, ranging from customized mentoring relationships with curators to meaningful work experience, travel and preparation for graduate level studies. The program hosts two rounds of fellowships, so the Summer Academy will be repeated for a new class of candidates beginning in the summer of 2015.

Twenty students nationwide will be selected for this ambitious program, with each museum matriculating two classes of two Fellows each over the course of two years. This program is open to freshmen and sophomore undergraduate students with an interest in art, art history or the museum field. In addition to having a strong academic record, a candidate should be able to demonstrate, through areas of study, extracurricular activities, background or other experiences, how he or she will contribute to the Mellon’s initiative.
