2023 Stanford Chen Internship Grant

This internship grant awards $1,500 to college juniors, seniors and graduate students who have secured an internship at a news outlet. Students from the Pacific Northwest or who attend a Northwest college or university are especially encouraged to apply, though a Northwest connection alone does not determine who receives a grant. Applicants who will be interning at small to medium sized outlets will receive priority.

• Must have secured a summer internship before applying for the internship grant. The stipend must be used for living expenses and/or transportation during your internship and may not be used for any college expenses. Grantees will be required to sign an agreement acknowledging this.
• Must have a serious interest in pursuing journalism as a career.
• Must be an active AAJA member.

• One letter of recommendation
• A letter verifying your summer internship
• A brief statement describing your financial need
