The selection process is rigorous yet rewarding, with finalists chosen by esteemed members of the Television Academy. The final selections are made by the host companies themselves, ensuring a perfect match for both intern and company.
But that’s not all! If you’re a Southern California college student interested in nonfiction television careers, don’t miss out on the “Getting Real: Unscripted Internships” program. Moreover, foster youth in the greater Los Angeles area can seize this fantastic opportunity with support from the Wolf Family Foundation.
Cris Abrego, Chair of the Television Academy Foundation, explains, “With the Internship Program, our goal is to jumpstart the careers of talented, highly motivated students who might not otherwise have access to the industry. The opportunities are carefully designed to provide aspiring television professionals from across the country the hands-on training, mentoring, and network they need as they embark on their entertainment careers.”
But wait, there’s more! Selected students for the 2024 Summer Internship Program can also apply for the Bob Bennett Future Leaders Program. Thanks to the generous gift from the Robert M. and Margie Bennett Foundation, this initiative offers additional financial support for intern housing, transportation, and professional development. To be considered, applicants must submit a 350-word essay on what innovation and leadership mean to them and how they plan to apply those qualities in their internship and future careers in television.
