Opportunity Summary:
The Latino Heritage Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00120) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement in the education activity category. The program is designed to place twenty high-performing undergraduate and graduate students in ten-week, hands-on internships focused on cultural resources work across a range of NPS park units, offices, and historic sites throughout the United States. Interns are expected to take on substantive, field-relevant assignments aligned with their academic or professional interests and to work day to day alongside NPS professionals, including historians, interpreters, archaeologists, architects, and museum curators. In addition to direct supervision by NPS staff, the selected partner organization (EFTA) provides added mentoring and support to help interns develop professionally and successfully complete their projects.
The funding total for the opportunity is estimated at $199,125, which is also listed as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $1, and the NPS anticipated making one award. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies. The CFDA listing connected to this opportunity is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, indicating the grant aligns with youth or student engagement in conservation and heritage-related work. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, meaning individual students do not apply directly through this grant competition; instead, the nonprofit award recipient would manage recruitment, selection, and administration of the internships in coordination with NPS.
From a participant support standpoint, the internship package is structured to reduce financial barriers: interns receive a weekly stipend, and housing and transportation costs are fully covered. The notice emphasizes that these are immersive placements with meaningful work products rather than observational experiences, and that interns will be integrated into professional teams working on cultural resource projects that support preservation, interpretation, documentation, and stewardship of historically significant places and collections connected to Latino heritage and broader American history.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on May 5, 2015, and archived on May 15, 2015. The listed closing language states "Notification of intent to award. No applications will be accepted," which indicates this announcement functioned as a public notice of an intended award rather than an open call for proposals. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is Steve Livingston, Contract Specialist, at 303-969-2690 and SteveLivingston@nps.gov.
