**************************

The application process for the Association for Women in Sports Media
Internship/Scholarship program for the summer of 2011 is officially open.
The deadline to apply is October 31. Internships are offered in writing
(magazines, newspapers and online), broadcast, editing and media relations.
Full-time female students currently enrolled in college are eligible to
apply for the internships. Applicants do not need to be members of AWSM to
apply.

This year, AWSM will be expanding its internship program in hopes of
offering scholarships to more than a dozen deserving students. The top
applicant in public relations, broadcast, writing and copy editing will each
be awarded a $1,000 scholarship in addition to a paid trip to the 2011 AWSM
Convention in Charlotte, which includes hotel stay, $300 reimbursement for
travel and free convention registration.

All other students chosen for an AWSM internship will receive a $500
scholarship.

Since 1990, AWSM has placed more than 100 female college students interested
in sports media careers in paid internships with employers such as Sports
Illustrated, ESPN, USA Track & Field, MLB.com and some of the country's most
respected daily newspapers.

Applications can only be submitted via AWSM's online application system. For
