Apply for a BIPOC Internship Stipend for Tubman Interns
As an organization serving in the name of Harriet Tubman, Tubman has long recognized that our work to end violence must also include a focus on equity, intersectionality, and ending the systemic racism that harms and devalues those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
Tubman’s vision calls for “Thriving people, healthy relationships, and peaceful communities.” For this vision to become a reality, we work for systemic change.
In support of this vision, Tubman is excited to be able to offer a limited number of stipends for BIPOC students. This stipend is specifically intended for BIPOC students experiencing financial hardship.
Stipend recipients will be selected by lottery from the pool of eligible applicants.

Stipend/Scholarship Amounts:
Two levels of stipends
