The Emma L. Bowen Foundation was created in 1989 to prepare minority youth for 
careers in the media industry. The Foundation’s program is unlike traditional 
intern programs in that students work for partner companies during summers and 
school breaks from the summer following their senior year in high school until 
they graduate from college. During the four-year program, students have an 
opportunity to learn many aspects of corporate operations and develop 
company-specific skills. Corporations have an opportunity to train and mentor 
students with the option of full-time employment upon completion of their 
college degrees.

Students earn an hourly salary and matching funds for college expenses. 
Academic excellence is also a key component of the program—students are 
required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average to remain in good standing. The 
Foundation staff works closely with corporate partners to monitor each 
student’s academic and work progress. An annual summer conference, a community 
service program and a mentoring program are also provided to further enhance 
the student’s knowledge and experience. Resource guides for both students and 
corporate supervisors are provided to maximize the student’s experience while 
in the program.

This unique, multi-year program prepares a diverse group of talented young 
professionals to enter the workforce with specific job-related skills, 
knowledge of the corporate environment and a strong foundation for future 
advancement. Students work in a variety of functional areas (e.g., marketing, 
sales, finance, public relations, human resources, technology, news, web 
design, promotion, etc.) and rotate each summer. Currently, we have 260 active 
students nationwide and more than 500 graduates. Approximately 70-80 new 
students join the program each year.
