Summer Internship Grants

For decades the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) has offered Harvard College students invaluable professional and cultural experiences through its an enriching program of internships in some of the highest European public service offices, private enterprises, and research institutions. These opportunities have enabled students to expand horizons while learning and honing new skills in an international environment, spurred academic inquiry on European issues, and built a lifelong appreciation for European cultures.

Chloe Koulefianou (Social Studies, African & African American Studies, 2024) worked at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece in 2023.

Applications for the summer of 2024 are now and will close at 11:59pm on February 9, 2024.
