The Internship Experience
Your humanities degree equips you with critical thinking, creativity, and unique problem-solving skills. The Mellon Humanities Internship Program (MHIP) helps you channel those strengths into a rewarding career path. With built-in support services to remove financial and logistical barriers, MHIP empowers you to focus on gaining the practical experience and professional confidence needed to excel after graduation.
Hear directly from some of our students about how these internships have shaped their academic journeys and career goals.
"Interning at World Relief Memphis completely altered my academic career. When I saw this opportunity, I thought it could be a great way to get hands-on experience using my Spanish in a professional setting.
My time at World Relief taught me to think on my feet and stay adaptable, a skill that I think will help me in any field, especially accounting, where problem-solving and communication are extremely important.
I am thankful for the Mellon Grant sponsors that have allowed me to take time away from my serving job to gain experience toward my Spanish degree."
