Internship grants

Winning applicants for these grants are required to obtain and serve a summer internship at a CNPA-member newspaper in California in order to receive their grant award.

Equipment grants
The CNPA Foundation offers Campus Newspaper Equipment grants each spring for CNPA-member campus newspapers to upgrade their newspaper production equipment. CNPA's high school and college member newspapers may apply. The campus newspaper adviser submits an essay demonstrating a need for new or upgraded production equipment to improve the newspaper's overall production operation.
