internship program. The link to the application site is as follows:
https://www.formstack.com/forms/awsmonline-internapplication
The program is open to female undergraduate or graduate students
working toward careers in sports media – from newspaper and online
writing, to broadcast journalism, to magazine writing, to sports media
relations.
Winners will receive up to a $1,000 scholarship and be placed in a
paid internship for the summer of 2014. Our 2013 interns worked at
ESPN, Sports Illustrated, MLB.com, The Denver Post and The
Colorado Springs Gazette. We are currently adding other employers
to the 2014 slate.
We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Sports
Journalism Institute as we both work toward our goal of diversifying
our country’s newsrooms. For the fourth consecutive year, an AWSM
intern will attend the intensive SJI training before beginning her sports
writing internship.
Finalists will be chosen by a panel of AWSM board members, and
winners will be selected by our prestigious group of employers.
Applications will be accepted through Oct. 31. Winners will be notified
in December/January.
