Students

The T. Howard Foundation is much more than an internship program for college students interested in the media and entertainment industry.

Internship Program

The T. Howard Foundation’s Internship Program is dedicated to improving the participation of diverse and underrepresented groups in the media and entertainment industry. This is accomplished by recruiting diverse and underrepresented college students from public and private academic institutions across the country.

In addition to a full-time paid summer internship, the Foundation’s comprehensive approach to diversity also provides talented interns with networking opportunities, professional development training, scholarships, mentors and much more!

 

The internship application will
reopen
in the fall of 2024.
