Summer Internship Fund: Your support can launch careers.
When you give to the Summer Internship Fund, you’re opening the door for a student to say “yes” to a life-changing internship.
Many newsrooms can’t afford to pay their interns, but those experiences are essential for students who want to become working journalists. Supporting our Summer Internship Program ensures that no student has to turn down an opportunity because of financial barriers.
Each $5,000 stipend makes it possible for a student to spend the summer in a newsroom — gaining hands-on experience, building professional networks, and producing reporting that can shape their future.

Your gift helps cover reporting grants for ambitious projects, fieldwork that brings stories to life, and special learning opportunities that sharpen skills. These experiences ensure students graduate prepared not only to enter the profession—but to excel in it.
