The TPS Dreamers internship program pays $18 per hour, and college credit is available. It kicks off in mid-June and allows participants to rotate between various roles in production, studio operations, development and more.

Students interested in college credit must be registered for an internship with their college or university and provide an official letter verifying that the TPS internship will result in course credits.

When is the application deadline?

In 2024, Pride Publishing Group reported that Tennessee State University’s Briana Thomas, a rising mass communication senior, was among the 14 TPS Dreamers selected from over 1,000 applicants.

“I was super excited when I was selected as I knew this was a great opportunity to learn and gain experience,” Thomas told the outlet. “It feels great to represent TSU and showcase the character, integrity, and work ethic instilled in me.”

This year’s TPS Dreamers application deadline is April 11.
