Müller-Peterson-Hach Internship Fund 

Established in 2006, this fund is intended to assist a student who is interested in performing an internship in the field of human rights, environmental protection, intercultural understanding, world peace, or human services in German-speaking countries for an experience of at least eight weeks. Once students have obtained an internship, they may apply for a grant.

Each summer, students can submit an application requesting up to $2,000. Preference will be given to students with financial need. Sufficient proficiency in German must be established through the German Department to be eligible for the internship and the grant. For assistance in obtaining internships in German speaking countries, students should contact the German Department.  

The MPH Grant has a different application process and deadline from the Career Center Grant.  Please contact Amity Fox at foxa@dickinson.edu to request the application.
