The Association for Women in Sports Media is a non-profit organization founded as a support network and advocacy group for women in sports journalism. They work to promote and increase diversity in sports media through a summer internship and scholarship program, which has placed more than 150 women in paid internships since 1990.
AWSM is offering up to 10 internships to go along with 10 scholarships available for summer 2018. There are a mixture of digital (newspaper/magazines/websites), broadcast and PR opportunities for female students seeking careers in the sports media industry.
The recipients receive a $1,000 scholarship and complimentary registration and lodging at AWSM’s annual convention–next year it will be in Phoenix.
The application period is open now and runs through Oct. 31. There is no fee for AWSM members to apply and a $25 fee for non-members.
