Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Internship

Apply to our collection of scholarship drawings!

If you are interested in obtaining an internship while pursuing a college education, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Internship may be right for you!

The Academy sponsors several internships each year, open to both full-time undergraduate and graduate students.

Internships are geared towards students who are pursuing a degree at any college and university within the United States. The program is designed to help students earn hands-on experience in the world of television production, professional techniques and practices, and in-depth exposure to all of this.

All interns will have the opportunity to earn hands-on experience in both administrative and production duties, but should not expect to receive training in all areas.

Please keep in mind when applying for this internship that intern positions are full time!

If you are accepted into the internship program with The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, you will receive a $4,000 stipend for your time. This stipend will be divided into three installments.

Interns will be responsible for their own housing, transportation and living expenses while interning for the Academy. All internships are located in the Los Angeles area, and interns must have a reliable vehicle for transportation.

Interested in applying? There are several things to include with your application.

* Cover Page with full contact information (name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and college information)
* A professional statement no longer than 400 words describing your professional goals, what you think a professional does in your area of study and why you chose the category of internship you did (categories are found here)
* A current resume
* Two letters of recommendation; one letter must be from an academic reference. Letters should be mailed with your application
* Also include a current transcript of all college courses and grades from both college and graduate school, if applicable. Photocopies are acceptable.



Additionally, if you are not a United States Citizen you must include an INS work authorization permit with your application materials. No exceptions will be allowed. You can speak with a staff member at your college or university to find out how to obtain one of these.

Once you have your application materials ready, please send them to:

Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation
Student Internship Program
5220 Lankershim Blvd.
N. Hollywood, CA 91601-3109

Please remember that, with few exceptions, all application materials will not be returned. No fax or e-mail entries will be accepted.

If you have further questions or would like to know more about this internship opportunity, please visit their website for additional details.

Internships are a great way to earn a bit of money and hands-on experience in the field you are pursuing a degree in.

While summer interns have already been notified this year, please check the website frequently for when applications re-open.

As always, have fun and good luck!
