The Emma L. Bowen Foundation was created in 1989 to prepare minority youth for careers in the media industry. This New Media and Technology Program is designed to provide opportunities for students pursuing careers in engineering, system design, information systems, web services, application or other technical disciplines in the media industry.
The foundation’s unique program allows students to work for partner companies during summers and school breaks from the summer following their senior year in high school until they graduate from college. Students will earn a salary, and matching dollars are set aside to help pay for your college expenses.
The New Media and Technology Work/Study Program is managed through two recruiting offices: The Eastern Region office in New York City and the Western Region office in Los Angeles.
