Summer Internships for NJ College Students


NJPF to Award Five Paid Internships for Summer 2012

New Jersey Press Foundation offers paid summer internship to college students who are interested in pursuing newspaper careers. Students who attend New Jersey colleges or who are New Jersey residents currently enrolled at other U.S. colleges are invited to apply.

The program has been revised to better meet the financial needs of students and their families.

For summer 2011, five college students will be selected to receive internships to work in newsrooms of NJPA member newspapers. The recipients will receive a salary of at least $400 per week for eight weeks.

These NJPF internships are made possible through memorial scholarship funds, created to develop the next generation of New Jersey journalists.

The application deadline is Friday, December 30, 2011.
