Deadline: 28 July 2024
The National Press Club Journalism Institute has announced submissions for Lewis Scholarship to provide free housing and a monthly stipend to support student journalists of color who plan to intern at news media outlets in Washington, D.C.
Student journalists, like their professional colleagues, dedicate themselves to covering their communities across platforms. Juggling classwork, part-time work, and journalism activities can often go without reward. The National Press Club and NPC Journalism Institute are proud to administer scholarships honoring promising future journalists serving their communities.
Funding Information
- The Lewis Scholarship has an estimated value of $10,000 and will be awarded to one undergraduate student journalist of color each fall, spring, and summer semester.
- The scholarship will provide a stipend of $1,000 per month and free housing provided through Washington Intern Student Housing for the duration of the student’s internship, usually four months.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must:
- Be a college junior or senior, be at least 18 years old, and identify as a person of color. Graduating seniors may apply for this scholarship if their internship takes place in the semester immediately following graduation.
- Enroll in online classes during their time in Washington, D.C.
- Have a minimum cumulative 3.0 grade-point average.
