Many prominent journalists got their start in the media through paid internships and fellowships sponsored by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
You can, too.
We place students who are seriously considering a journalism career in positions that offer writing opportunities at some of the nation’s leading publications.
Our yearlong fellowships provide recent graduates who are looking to begin their careers in media with a full year of professional journalism experience—paid.
Our paid summer internships provide current college students with the opportunity to explore a media career for ten weeks.
You will be asked to provide some basic contact information, as well as a résumé, cover letter, transcript, references, writing samples, and brief responses to short questions.
The application deadline for summer internships is February 15, 2021. The application deadline for yearlong fellowships is March 1, 2021. ISI will reach out shortly after these deadlines with further information about the interview and placement process.
Please provide contact information for two references willing to submit letters of recommendation.
In addition, please provide 2-3 writing clips. Published articles are preferred, but blog posts and brief academic essays are acceptable.
