Internship/Scholarship Opportunities
For Award During
Fall 2012/Spring 2013
The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication is pleased to announce the following scholarship and internship opportunities. Please review the background and criteria carefully to be sure the scholarships for which you are applying fit with your qualifications and intentions. Applications will be reviewed by the scholarship committee and selections will be made in spring, 2012. Notifications of awards will be sent at that time with instructions for receiving funds in your student account at the beginning of the semester for fall 2012 and/or spring 2013.
Please note that internship opportunities usually require travel and costly living expenses while the internship is being fulfilled. These expenses will initially be borne by the applicant as awards are not paid until the internship is successfully completed and all requirements have been met.
Important Scholarship Information:
- A separate application must be filled out for each scholarship fund.
- We strongly urge you to apply for as many scholarship awards as appropriate. Each scholarship has a different set of criteria, and many students receive multiple awards.
