Internship Grants
The CNPA Foundation each fall accepts applications for $1,000 internship grants that are available for students interested in careers with newspaper companies. The top three-placing internship winners will receive an additional $500. Also, the CNPA Foundation will provide up to two $1,000 advertising and marketing 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. 2010 grant application
