Qualifying students must have a 3.25 GPA, as well as a minimum of 45 hours earned toward their degree at the time the internship begins.

The cash awards will be granted to ten students to be chosen by the Independent Media Internship Committee. The chosen students must register for a summer internship of between 1.0 and 3.0 credits in order to receive the award.

Deadline for applications is Friday, March 25 at 4 p.m.

Where exactly would we find the applications for these internships? Dr. Hoch talked about them in my class last semster and I was really interested, so I'd really like to apply. Thanks so much!
