Internship grants offered through the DeWitt Wallace Center
Critical funding support for any Duke students pursuing opportunities in journalism or media organizations is available, through the generosity of the Susan Tifft Undergraduate Student Internship Fund, Trinity Arts & Sciences, the Duke Endowment and other private alumni donors. Students must submit a separate application to be considered for internship funding support, and will have additional post-internship reporting requirements. Priority will be given to (but not limited to) students enrolled in the Journalism Policy & Media Studies Certificate Program, and engaged in unpaid internships. Students can receive up to $2,500 in financial support.
