Students must meet Villanova, Pennsylvania and U.S. requirements for eligibility and receipt of payment. The selected fellow will work 10 hours per week (on average).

The undergraduate student fellow will formally apply to the position through Villanova University’s online recruitment system. The student will be interviewed by the Director and Assistant Director. Human Resources will coordinate onboarding and collect all required employment documentation.
Additional Information:
The fellow is strongly encouraged to apply to earn academic credit through the Ellis Center for Undergraduate Students (formerly OUS).

Once completed and accepted by this program, the student will be enrolled in HIS 2993, the three-credit History internship course, with grading and assignments designated by the appropriate faculty member of the History Department. For more information about the credits, please contact Kathryn Szumanski, Ellis Center Director of Professional Development [email protected]
