Preservation Fellows Program
The Texas Historical Commission (THC) is seeking student applicants who belong to under-represented ethnic groups for its Preservation Fellows Program, which strives to increase the diversity of professionals working in the field of historic preservation. This initiative targets undergraduate and graduate students to promote their interest in pursuing fields of study in history, preservation, architecture, landscape architecture, archeology, downtown revitalization and heritage tourism.
The THC particularly encourages students of landscape architecture, a select group of 12 East Texas counties and students attending Stephen F. Austin State University or Angelina College to apply. Please see the eligibility portion of the application for more information. Applicants must be students at the sophomore level or above attending a college, university, junior college or community college in Texas, or a Texas resident attending school out-of-state. Fellows receive a $5,000 stipend for eight weeks of employment under the supervision of the THC.
