The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum offers two summer fellowships for undergraduate or graduate students interested in U.S. history, material culture, historic preservation, museum studies, or museum education.

The appointment is full-time for a nine-week period during June and July, and carries a $2,750 stipend per fellow.
