Students can begin to apply online for the Association for Women in Sports Media’s Scholarship and Internship Program. Online applications must be submitted by Friday, Oct. 31 at 5 p.m. Eastern time.
Since 1990, AWSM has placed about 100 female college students interested in sports media careers in paid internships with employers such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN, USA Track & Field and some of the country’s most respected daily newspapers.
All interns receive a $1,000 scholarship from AWSM in addition to whatever pay the internship provides. Copy editing interns receive an additional $1,000 scholarship from Associated Press Sports Editors. All interns also receive $300 toward travel expenses to the annual AWSM convention, waived convention registration fees and free lodging at the host hotel.
Apply at AWSM’s Web site, awsmonline.org.
