<p>These responses are fascinating.</p>
<p>Dd is interested in art conservation, which of course pays dirt. Her internship would be at an art conservation lab associated with a university overseas. As a freshman, she would be working alongside grad students. The girl who went last summer from dd’s college said that she learned an amazing amount.</p>
<p>Dd would receive a stipend, and she is applying for grants, but in the best of circumstances they will only cover housing, leaving food, transportation, etc. (Though her plane ticket is already covered because of something else).</p>
<p>We live very near an absolutely awesom museum that has an extensive collection in just the area dd is interested in, but the particular museum HATES interns – says that internships involve FAR more work for the museum than is beneficial. Oh well!</p>
