Summer Grant Applications
The summer student grant applications are usually completed by mid-February and the Fredericton Region Museum typically submits applications to three organizations each year. There is no guarantee that we will be receiving funding but if you are a student and interested in working at the museum then you should consider applying to the Young Canada Works website and the Canada Summer Jobs website which are both FEDERAL programs. The Community Museums Summer Employment Program is a PROVINCIAL program and does not require you to be registered. If any of the grants are approved then we will be updating the museum blog and posting it to Facebook so check back on a regular basis!
We will not be approved for all grants so if you are interested in working at the Fredericton Region Museum during the summer then please apply for more than one position. You may also want to apply to the Sports Hall of Fame, Beaverbrook Art Gallery, School Days Museum, Science East and the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick. Each of these institutions will provide you with work experience in heritage and/or the museum industry.
