Donald J. Yehle Endowed Internship
The Donald J. Yehle Internship Endowment supports academically qualified, highly motivated, trustworthy, and mature students undertaking full-time internships in such areas as government service, law, historical preservation and/or restoration, mass media, public relations, non-profit organizations, and community service. Preference will be given to students whose internships are not compensated. The Yehle Endowment will support internships in amounts up to $2,000. The Internship must be taken for academic credit and culminate in a formal paper that goes beyond a mere summary of the internship. If the Internship is undertaken during the summer or in a fall or winter term when the intern is not a full-time student, it carries a tuition remission of up to four (4) Alma College credits. This Internship Endowment does not support internships secured through off-campus placement programs run by colleges, universities, or consortia that host Alma College students. Students supported by this Internship Endowment are expected to work 30-40 hours per week at the internship.

Currie Scholars Program
A generous grant from Eleanor H. Currie has enabled the College to establish a Currie Scholars program beginning in fiscal year 2001. Qualified sophomores and juniors may apply for this program, which will provide a stipend of $2,500 plus waiver of room charges for the summer (if work is done on campus) to support scholarly or creative projects in collaboration with a faculty mentor.
Scholarship is defined as field or lab work in the sciences or social sciences, library or archival work in the humanities or social sciences, or creation of an original performance or art work in the fine and performing arts. Preference will be given to proposals which identify an appropriate output (e.g., paper presentation, poster session, exhibition, or performance) for the scholarship beyond the Alma campus. The proposal must demonstrate active collaboration between the student and the faculty mentor.

David B. Kinney Scholarship Program
Supported by a generous gift from the family of attorney and social activist David B. Kinney, class of 1943, Alma College is pleased to offer a grant of up to $2,500 to support student research related, in Mr. Kinney's words, "to independent and original study of any items, persons or societal trends relating to the birth or endurance of our precious Bill of Rights."
Preference will be given to projects that include primary,
especially archival, research into an appropriate civil liberties
related issue or topic. However, this may be interpreted broadly to
include historical, philosophical, legislative, legal, literary,
creative, artistic, economic, political, and cultural issues and
aspects. Travel to research sites and/or proposals which cross
disciplinary boundaries are encouraged.
