Arts Internship Honors Fellowship Details
Eligibility
The Arts Internship Honors Fellowship Program is open to all full-time undergraduate students at UNC who have completed at least one semester but not more than six semesters. You do not have to be a member of Honors Carolina to apply. Applicants should have at least two semesters remaining following completion of the Arts Internship Honors Fellowship and prior to graduation.
All independent travel through UNC requires University approval. UNC can support undergraduate independent travel to locations with a Department of State level 1 or 2 advisory. Level 3 applications will only be considered in exceptional circumstances. Please meet with the Director of Global Education and Fellowships to discuss your exception prior to submitting an application. To see what level a country is, visit travel.state.gov.
Even if applicants are selected for the fellowship, all must then receive University approval in order to accept the funding and travel to their designated location.
If you accept the Arts Internship Honors Fellowship award, you must withdraw from any other funding opportunities for the project. Likewise, if you have accepted another award for the fellowship period, you must withdraw your application for an Arts Internship Honors Fellowship.
3.0 GPA is required.
