Smithsonian internships are learning experiences guided by a mentor, occurring during a specific time frame, which provide benefits relating to an intern’s education, coursework, or career goals. With stated learning objectives and a mentor’s commitment, interns may be appointed for a term of up to six months. As an intern’s experiential education progresses, with revised learning objectives and a renewed commitment from a mentor, they may be reappointed.

Smithsonian fellowships are awarded competitively to graduate, pre-doctoral, or post-doctoral students – or granted non-competitively to visiting professionals, students, scientists, or scholars – are offered to individuals who design and develop proposals for independent study or collaborative research in fields pursued by and of interest to Smithsonian staff. Smithsonian fellows are generally appointed to terms lasting between 1 to 3 years.

Smithsonian internships are learning experiences guided by a mentor, occurring during a specific time frame, which provide benefits relating to an intern’s education, coursework, or career goals. With stated learning objectives and a mentor’s commitment, interns may be appointed for a term of up to six months. As an intern’s experiential education progresses, with revised learning objectives and a renewed commitment from a mentor, they may be reappointed.

Smithsonian fellowships are awarded competitively to graduate, pre-doctoral, or post-doctoral students – or granted non-competitively to visiting professionals, students, scientists, or scholars – are offered to individuals who design and develop proposals for independent study or collaborative research in fields pursued by and of interest to Smithsonian staff. Smithsonian fellows are generally appointed to terms lasting between 1 to 3 years.

For Asian American and Pacific Islander students, finding additional funds for graduate school is critical to continuing their education. These scholarships, grants, and resources aim to help AAPI students responsibly finance their master’s degrees and navigate the process.

f you look at higher education by ethnic group, Asian Americans are the most likely to hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. Census data shows that 49% of Asian Americans age 25 and older meet that mark. That’s in contrast to 30% of white Americans, 19% of Americans with Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander heritage, 19% of Black Americans, 17% of American Indians and Alaskan Natives, and 13% of Hispanic Americans.

For many of Asian American descent, higher education is expected. For those underserved ethnic groups such as Southeast Asian Americans, refugees from Burma/Myanmar and Bhutan, and Pacific Islanders, the lack of adequate information and support to navigate the college financial aid creates barriers.

While AAPI students are strongly interested in higher education, money plays a big role in which schools they choose. According to a study from the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund, finances limited 70% of study participants as they selected a school. That’s where scholarships, grants, and other professional resources can help. Check out the following list, which details awards ranging from $500 to $90,000 specifically for AAPI students.
