Since 2002, the Scripps Howard Foundation has funded more than 900 internships in the Greater Cincinnati region.
The program has been mutually beneficial for students and nonprofits. Students learn new skills and the inner workings of the nonprofit world from their supervisors. In return, students apply what they’ve learned in the classroom – and bring their training in new media to the organizations they serve.
Scripps Howard Communication Internships are available for junior and senior communication, journalism and marketing students at University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Northern Kentucky University and Miami University.
Up to $2,000
Greater Cincinnati nonprofits can apply for internship grants Aug. 1 and Sept. 14
