Internship grant application season brings the same conundrum to 61传媒each year: an abundance of remarkable students seeking summer internships and not nearly enough funds in the grant pot to go around. This year, members of the Alumnae Leadership Council (ALC), the governing body of the 61传媒Alumnae Association, are helping to resolve this problem via the newly created Alumnae Association Internship Fund. The goal? To fund ten students with an average grant of $4,000 by June 30, 2016. By supporting the Alumnae Association Internship Fund in addition to your much-needed 61传媒Fund gift, you help to provide more internship opportunities for students. Gifts of $2,000 or more count towards membership in the Ellen Browning 61传媒Society. Those who donate $4,000 can either choose to have a named operating internship OR support the AA Internship Fund. If donor chooses to support the fund, she will still receive a stewardship report, but the student recipient will receive an “Alumnae Association Internship Grant” not a named grant.
