College journalism students are invited to apply for the 2009 Scripps Howard Foundation Semester in Washington Program.
Six interns, including one international student, work as reporters for the Scripps Howard Foundation Wire in our downtown Washington bureau. We pay a stipend and provide free housing in furnished apartments in Northwest Washington near the National Zoo.
Interns’ stories are published on our Web-based wire: www.shfwire.com. Some of their stories may go to the Scripps Howard News Service’s 400 client newspapers. Interns may write for hometown or campus newspapers and earn internship or independent study credits through their universities. We tour Washington journalism and government institutions, bring in guest speakers and meet weekly to discuss issues in journalism.
The program is open to college juniors and seniors who are studying print or online journalism. It is not open to graduates or graduate students. Download the application form at our Web site. I’m also attaching a PDF document about the program that you can forward to faculty and students or post on a bulletin board. Thank you
