Home Professional Development Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program The Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program allows doctoral students to pursue a fully supported and funded internship during their graduate training (spring/summer, fall, or winter). Internships offer students a mentored professional learning experience in diverse career settings. The program is made possible by Rackham and the generous support of our donors. Two Tracks to Choose From The program has two tracks—students may apply to ready-made internships Rackham has set up with host organizations or for funding to support an internship they have secured with an organization. The eligibility requirements and application instructions vary by term and program track (host organization or student-identified). Please make sure to read carefully to understand your eligibility to apply.
