    The Association for Women in Sports Media is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2012 scholarship/internship program. The program is open to female undergraduate and graduate students as well as 2012 graduates that are interested in pursuing a career in sports media.

    We hope to be able to place as many as a dozen deserving applicants into internships for the summer of 2012. The top applicant in each of the writing, broadcast, editing and media relations categories will receive a $1,000 scholarship and a paid trip to the 2012 convention in Chicago. All other students selected for an AWSM internship will receive a $500 scholarship.

    Applications for the summer of 2012 program must be submitted through our online application system. The application deadline is Monday, Oct. 31, 2011. Winners will be notified by mid-December.
