Apply for the Scripps Howard summer scholarship grant

The Scripps Howard Foundation grants one Manship School student $3,000 to support a summer internship. The winner also gets a $500 check after completion of the internship toward expenses of the following semester, or for themselves if they’ve just graduated. Eligible students should be rising juniors or seniors, graduate students or can be recent graduates without placements. Internships must last a minimum of 10 weeks and include working at least 35 hours per week. Placement must be in a journalism-related position: in multimedia; as a news producer, or in an environment that offers sales, entrepreneurial, social media or digital communications experience. Internships may be a paid or unpaid placement and may or may not be at a Scripps operating unit (sites listed at www.scripps.com) but may not be at a Scripps operating unit’s direct competitor. (Freelance or remote arrangements are not eligible).

To apply, please submit your resume, a description of the internship from the internship supervisor, including your duties, hours and duration of the internship, and a brief cover letter noting why you are applying for this award.

Applications should be submitted to Mary Ann Sternberg (msternb@lsu.edu), Internship Coordinator, by 4:00 PM Monday, April 22.
