FORT APACHE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

The Frederic M. Henderson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor Fred Henderson and supports the Fort Apache Heritage Foundation’s promotion of Historic Fort Apache as a contemporary contributor to education, which benefits the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Out of this fund was born the Henderson Internship Support Program.

Summer internships allow students the opportunity to gain experience, develop skills, make connections, strengthen their resumes, learn about a given career field, and assess their interest and abilities. In addition, providing paid internships is beneficial because it allows economically disadvantaged students the opportunity to participate. As a result of these benefits, the Henderson Internship Support Program provides financial support for students seeking internship opportunities in their chosen field of study.
