Education Program
FHS’s Education Program trains future leaders in preservation by offering transatlantic internships to American and French university students in the fields of restoration, horticulture and conservation. In 2025, we will support 24 students with 19 summer internships and 5 International Professional Internship Program placements. To date, 577 student internships have been supported.
Summer Student Exchange Program
The Summer Student Exchange Program provides four-to-eight-week summer internships to horticulture and art history students at leading cultural institutions on both sides of the Atlantic. Students receive stipends ranging from $1,000 to $2,000.
International Professional Internship Program
The International Professional Internship Program allows students at the master’s and doctoral levels to participate in internships lasting six months to a year, giving them significant professional experience in their field of study on the other side of the Atlantic. Stipends of $5,000 are offered to participants in this program.
