Description:
Nov. 1 is the deadline for undergradate college students to apply for spring and summer reporting internships with the Scripps Howard Foundation Semester in Washington Program. Students studying print, online, broadcast and photo journalism are eligible for the program. Interns cover news and news features in the nation’s capital.
Interns earn a stipend of $2,520 for the 14-week spring term and $1,800 for the 10-week summer term. The program provides free housing in furnished apartments.
Interns report for the web-based Scripps Howard Foundation Wire and may also report for campus or hometown news organizations.
