[OR_Archaeology] Fwd: [Hist_Pres] Internship opportunity from NPS

[Susan White]

The National Park Service invites you to submit project proposals for
its Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program for the summer of
2011.

Program Goals:  The Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program
(CRDIP) provides career exploration opportunities to minority and
underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students in historic
preservation and cultural resources management. The program also gives
National Park Service offices, national park units, government
agencies
at all levels, and private organizations opportunities to meet
promising
young people who might choose a career in this field. The National
Park
Service Cultural Resources Program, through the CRDIP, cooperates with
intern sponsors to provide students who have limited or no exposure to
this field with quality work experiences.

How the Program Works:  The Cultural Resources Diversity Internship
Program (CRDIP) will sponsor 15 to 18 interns during a 10-week summer
session, beginning June 6, 2011.  

The cost is shared on a 50/50 basis between the CRDIP and the intern
sponsor.  The total cost for eachFY2010 summer intern is $12,003. 
Thus,
intern sponsors are expected to contribute $6,002.  This amount will
be
matched by the CRDIP.  All funds will be deposited at the Student
Conservation Association (SCA), which handles intern recruitment,
intern
application processing, payroll, and career mentoring.  Please contact
the coordinator with questions concerning the intern’s salary.
We are planning to hold a three-day Career Workshop in Washington, DC
during the tenth week of the summer internship. The cost for each
intern’s participation will be covered by the National Park Service,
Cultural Resources Program.

submit intern project proposals on the enclosed form by November 30,
2010 to: Turkiya Lowe by email, Turkiya_lowe at contractor.nps.gov or by
