Applications for the Spring 2023 Lewis Scholarship (Sponsored by the National Press Club Journalism Institute) are due on Monday, Oct. 24.

This opportunity provides free housing and a monthly stipend to support student journalists of color who plan to intern at news media outlets in Washington, D.C. The Lewis Scholarship will be awarded to one undergraduate student journalist of color each fall, spring, and summer semester.

You can find the criteria and information about all of our scholarships here — we have four other awards that will open in January. Please help us to continue spreading the word by retweeting this opportunity or sharing the application with your current and former students. We’ve also attached a flier, if you’d like to hang it in your classroom or newsroom.

Linked here is the recording from our recent question-and-answer session with internship coordinators from C-SPAN, the Dow Jones News Fund, and NPR, as well as a tipsheet on how to prepare a solid internship and early-career application package.
