Apply for 499A internship scholarships by May 6

Greenlee primary majors: Apply now to be considered for a 499A internship scholarship. That’s $1,000 (or more) to offset your expenses this summer while you’re doing your 499A internship.

Students who wish to be considered for an internship scholarship from the Greenlee School must be pursuing an internship they have discussed with their faculty mentor or academic advisor to fulfill the requirements for ADVRT/JL MC/P R 499A.

Please apply through OneApp, Iowa State University's scholarship portal. As a reminder, ALL steps MUST BE COMPLETED to be considered for a Greenlee School 499 Internship Scholarship.

If you have already completed the OneApp for the 2022-2023 school year, simply log back into OneApp and choose: Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication Internship Scholarships. You may update your general application responses if you want to, but it's not required.
If you have not applied for scholarships in OneApp this year, you will need to fill out the General portion of the OneApp to be considered for an internship scholarship.
You DO NOT need to complete the LAS portion of the OneApp to be considered for internship scholarships. You must be a primary major in Advertising, Journalism and Mass Communication, or Public Relations to qualify for an internship scholarship through the Greenlee School.
You are required to include your internship employer and job title/description in the application.
You must complete a 300-400 word essay that describes the impact this scholarship will have on your career goals. You will be assessed on both the content and quality of writing. The essay is included as part of the OneApp scholarship form.
You will also need to include a link to your online portfolio.

The final application deadline is Friday, May 6 at 5 p.m.
