Lawrence and Jean Irwin Memorial Internship Scholarships / Bertha Taylor Scholarships for Public Affairs Internships / Reves Center Summer International Internship Scholarships

**Please Note: We are no longer accepting applications for the Irwin/Taylor/Reves Internship Scholarships. 

Thanks to the generosity of Lawrence and Jean Irwin and Bertha Taylor, the Charles Center and the Government Department are able to award a number of scholarships to help support continuing undergraduate-level students undertaking summer internships related to politics, government, and public affairs in general. 

In addition, the Reves Center is offering a number of scholarships for continuing students at the undergraduate or graduate level.  Students must be involved in full-time internships overseas or in domestic agencies/organizations that are international in focus. 

The exact number of awards and the amount of each will vary from year to year. 

Please note that there is ONE application for all three awards.
