Scholarship and Internship Opportunity for Media Students

The Emma L. Bowen Foundation was created in 1989 to prepare minority youth for careers in the media industry. The Foundation’s program is unlike traditional intern programs in that students work for partner companies during summers and school breaks from the summer following their junior year in high school until they graduate from college. During the five-year program, students have an opportunity to learn many aspects of corporate operations and develop company-specific skills. Corporations have an opportunity to train and mentor students with the option of fulltime employment upon completion of their college degrees.

Students earn an hourly salary and matching funds for college expenses. Academic excellence is also a key component of the program—students are required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average to remain in good standing. The Foundation staff works closely with corporate partners to monitor each student’s academic and work progress. An annual student conference, a community service program and a mentoring program are also provided to further enhance the student’s knowledge and experience. Resource guides for both students and corporate supervisors are provided to maximize the student’s experience while in the program.

This unique, multi-year program prepares a diverse group of talented young professionals to enter the workforce with specific job-related skills, knowledge of the corporate environment and a strong foundation for future advancement. Currently, we have more than 230 active students nationwide and an equal number of graduates. Approximately 50-60 new students join the program each year.

It’s Friday night, which means a lot of free time; why not go see a movie? The movies are great to have fun with friends and relax after a long week. The recent line up of movies that are in theatres or were in theatres these past couple months are, Wall Street Money Never Sleeps, The Social Network, Due Date, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Each of these movies has only been out for only a short time so don’t expect to find them on shelves yet. A few new movies not in theatres are, Green Lantern, Cowboys and Aliens, and Tron: Legacy. Cowboys and Aliens and Green Lantern arrive in the summer of 2011, Tron: Legacy is released December 17, 2010. If anyone is planning to watch these movies, call a friend, grab some popcorn, and find a seat because no one is going to want to miss out on these awesome shows.
