Internship Scholarships & Awards

Funded by a generous benefactor, The Progressive/Independent Media Internship program offers recipients up to a $3,000 stipend for a credit-bearing summer internship with an independent media organization. The link above provides locations where students have interned in the past.

These awards are available to academically qualified students to supplement the costs associated with undertaking an internship or other professional development opportunity, either in the summer or in our semester programs in Los Angeles or NYC.  Students are notified about the application process each year via our Park e-newsletter.
