For nearly 40 years, the Emma Bowen Foundation (EBF) has developed and connected promising students, known as EBF Fellows, to careers in media, entertainment, technology, and business through summer internships, mentorship, and professional development. Each summer, we host a class of about 150 new and returning EBF Fellows who intern with our partners.
Nearly 2,000 aspiring media professionals have received support, guidance, and resources from EBF. Today, our alumni are producers, journalists, web developers, engineers, business executives, PR agents, ad sales representatives, and serve in many other roles.
