SMITHSONIAN WILL
SELECT 40 INTERNS FROM
THE HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS OF 1990
The Smithsonian Institution is offering five-week
internships to 40 students who will graduate from High
School this year. Seniors may apply for the positions in
various departments and offices of the Institution, in
areas including biology, journalism, photography,
history, veterinary science, art, carpentry, library science,
and computer science.
Students chosen for the program will receive a living '
allowance of $550.00. In addition to their duties as
interns, the students will tour sites that many visitors to
Washington, D.C., do not see, such as Organization of
American States, Voice of America, and World Bank.
As part of the program, the interns will hold seminars to
explain to the group both their assignments and the
functions of the host office.
Acceptance is based not as much on academic Achieve
ment as on a demonstrated interest in a particular
subject area or career; the program has been designed
to enable students to pursue their special Interests while
working with museum professionals.
In addition to the living allowance, interns who come
from outside the Washington area will receive housing
in a nearby dormitory. The Institution will also provide
their transportation to and from Washington. Intern '90
will offer two separate sessions of the program:
Session One from June 3 through July 7, 1990,
Session Two from July 8 through August 11, 1990.

school seniors should write to:
