Students currently enrolled in a graduate program leading to an advanced degree in a field relevant to the internship(s) for which they are applying, or

Individuals who have completed a relevant graduate degree on or after January 1, 2010, with postgraduate activities in their field, paid or unpaid.

Part 1: Online Application. Complete and submit the online portion of your application below (this step includes uploading a Personal Statement and Supplemental Applicant Information form) by 5:00 p.m. PST, December 3, 2012. Materials received after this date will result in an incomplete application. Application materials cannot be returned.

We cannot accept applications hand-delivered to the Getty Center or those sent by e-mail or fax.

Please note that since the graduate intern application's annual deadline of December 1 falls on a Saturday we have moved the deadline in 2012 only to Monday, December 3.

Part 2: Academic records via mail. Transcripts must be received in the Foundation office on or before December 3, 2012.

Part 3: Recommendation letters via e-mail. Applicants must have two confidential letters of recommendation forwarded by their recommenders via e-mail to InternRecLetters@getty.edu. Letters must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. PST December 3, 2012. Recommenders should attach a scanned original letter to the e-mail. In all cases, letters of recommendation must come directly from the recommender's institutional e-mail account and must clearly indicate the applicant's name (last name, first name) in the subject line and the recommender's name and title.

Typically, the most appropriate recommenders are university faculty members who can address your academic performance. Other recommenders may include past or current employers of relevant work who are familiar with your skills and abilities.

Recommenders should be sure to state how long s/he has known the applicant and in what capacity. We would particularly appreciate comments on the applicant's abilities in the following areas: academic performance, research and writing skills, curiosity and ability to take initiative, interpersonal skills, and dependability. We would appreciate a ranking of the individual on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being below average and 5 being excellent.
