Georgia Press Educational Foundation

The Georgia Press Educational Foundation Inc. is a nonprofit, tax-exempt foundation established in 1963 to provide educational opportunities and financial assistance to students studying journalism at colleges and universities across Georgia.

Since GPEF began granting scholarships to students in 1966, the Foundation has awarded in excess of $650,000 and provided more than 150 Georgia newspapers grants to hire a paid summer intern through the Billy Watson Internship Program.

Today, the program continues to offer eight-week internship grants to newspapers to hire students interested in any phase of newspaper production, including advertising, editorial, circulation/marketing, online publishing and pre-press production.
