Moir Intern Scholarship
The Moir Internship is funded through the Moir Education Endowment, which was created to honor the Village's former chairman Bruce D. Moir for his service to the museum. The internships are designed to provide a rich and rigorous summer experience for two college students who have demonstrated an interest in the study of American History - possibly with the intent to enter the field professionally - while assisting the Village in its efforts to fulfill its mission. The two college interns who best embody this ideal will be awarded the Moir Internship and receive a $1,500 stipend.
