https://www.nhccnm.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Herrera-Internship-Endowment-Application-FY21_FINAL.pdf


Below is some information, but make sure to go to the website for complete details. Let me know if you need any help or have any questions.


The Herrera Internship Endowment was created by Dr. Denise Herrera to honor her parents (Yolanda and Fred Herrera) and grandparents (Reyna and Mariano Herrera), who did not have the opportunity to pursue higher education. As a native New Mexican, Dr. Herrera has dedicated much of her academic and professional career to the advancement of underrepresented groups in higher education. As a participant in several diversity programs herself, Dr. Herrera has mentored students from elementary through postdoctoral levels. This internship is intended to honor that tradition of “lifting others while we climb” and paying it forward.

Purpose – The Herrera Internship provides scholarships to Hispanic female students who complete an internship with the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC).

Eligibility – The ideal applicant should:

  *   •  Be a New Mexico resident. For purposes of this internship, we define residency as having lived in New

Mexico for at least one year (at the time of application), regardless of immigration status.

  *   •  Self-identify as female and Hispanic, Latina, Chicana, or Mexican-American.

  *   •  Be an undergraduate student, in good standing, who is enrolled at least half-time in an accredited college or university in New Mexico.

  *   •  Preference may be given to first generation college students.

Award – Interns will enter into a Letter of Agreement with the NHCC to commit to a set number of internship hours with the NHCC. The maximum internship award available for the 2020 - 2021 academic year is a total of $1,800. The award will be disbursed directly to the intern in installments. This year’s internship will be completed remotely and may move to onsite, per current State health orders.
