Internships
Our team is made up of Lilly Endowment Community Scholars dedicated to furthering the mission of the Lilly Scholars Network. We are eager to connect Lilly Scholars with programs, events, and opportunities to further their professional and personal leadership and grow the Lilly Scholars Network. We aim to help Lilly Scholars come together to make an even greater impact in their communities throughout Indiana and beyond.
Each spring, the Lilly Scholars Network (LSN) offers two internships from January - April, with the opportunity to extend. LSN internships are exclusive opportunities for current Lilly Scholars.
- The Lilly Scholars Network is guided by Indiana Humanities and generously supported by Lilly Endowment.
"My time interning with the LSN team has been incredibly inspiring. Through my role as the Events Marketing Intern, I’ve gained valuable insight into the goals and impact of our Network. In such a short period, I've grown both personally and professionally, learning how crucial it is to create and promote events that foster connection and collaboration. Being part of the LSN team has reshaped my understanding of advocacy—I've realized that sometimes the most powerful way to make a difference is by informing others and bringing people together."

“During my time as an LSN intern, I gained valuable insights into the process of planning and executing events and gatherings for Lilly Scholars. This role allowed me to develop logistical skills, network with speakers, and enhance my technical proficiency by utilizing tools such as Google Suite, Ticketleap, Foundant, and MailChimp, among others.”
