Scholarship: Emma Bowen Foundation for Minority Interests in Media

The Emma L. Bowen Foundation was created in 1989 to prepare minority youth for careers in the media industry. The Foundation’s program is unlike traditional intern programs in that students work for partner companies during summers and school breaks from the summer following their junior year in high school until they graduate from college.

Minority students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and an interest in the media industry as a career are eligible to apply. Students earn an hourly salary and matching funds for college expenses.

The application deadline date is Friday, January 14, 2011.

SPECIAL NOTE: The Emma Bowen Foundation has designed a New Media and Technology Program to provide opportunities for students pursuing careers in engineering, system design, information systems, web services, applications or other technical disciplines in the media industry.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Any minority student (African American, Hispanic, Asian or Native American) who is a rising high school senior, graduating high school senior or college freshman, has a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0, is interested in pursuing a career in the media industry, and plans to attend a four-year accredited college or university is eligible to apply to the Emma L. Bowen Foundation work/study program. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or legal residents of the United States, and speak and write English fluently to be considered.
