The Association for Women in Sports Media is pleased to announce we are now accepting applications for our 2014 scholarship and 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. Students need the following to apply: resume, three references, a letter of reference and five work samples.
