Landmark Scholars Program

$10,000 and Newsroom Internships!

The Landmark Scholars Program combines scholarship and internship awards designed to encourage young minority journalists to build careers with Landmark Publishing Group. Landmark Scholars receive $10,000 in college scholarships and valuable professional experience working in the newsroom of one of Landmark's major newspapers in Virginia or North Carolina. Recipients enjoy paid internships for two summers during college and for one year following graduation. Upon successful completion of the internship, the Landmark Scholar will be poised to continue a professional career at Landmark or one of the nation's other premiere publishing companies.

College students who are sophomores and enrolled in a full-time course of study in a 4-year degree program may apply. If selected as a Landmark Scholar, the student will work as a paid intern at a Landmark publication for each remaining summer break and will also receive a scholarship check for $5,000 upon completion of each summer internship.
