The Summer Fellowship Program is the cornerstone program of the IRTS Foundation. Often referred to as a “media boot camp,” this highly selective program teaches a talented group of up-and-coming communicators the realities of the business world through an all-expense-paid internship in New York City, which includes practical experience and career-planning advice. Participants emerge from this program with a strong understanding of our entire business, along with carefully honed skills in career planning, resume writing, and interviewing. Fellows are then able to reinforce or redefine specific career goals before starting a career within the media industry.
THOSE SELECTED FOR THE FELLOWSHIP RECEIVE:
Round trip travel to and from NYC. (air, train, or driving mileage reimbursement)
Housing at a downtown Manhattan university dormitory in a shared suite setting.
A living allowance to defray cost of food and personal expenses.
A full-time internship at a top New York media company that aligns with a student’s interests and career goals.
Weekly events including panel discussions, company visits and speakers.
The IRTS Foundation also provides extensive career counseling and networking opportunities to ensure that each student makes the most of this New York experience!
