Internship Grants

Foundation Internship Grants

In 2026, the NAFB Foundation provided five $3,000 internship grants to member stations and networks. Each grant helps provide students with on-the-job experience in agriculture broadcasting – from live reports covering ag events and activities to a look at the business model of a broadcast entity. The Foundation also provides registration and up to $500 for the intern’s expenses to attend the NAFB Convention in November. The interns are recognized for their achievements at a special NAFB Foundation luncheon during convention.

Since its inception in 1977, the foundation has funded $344,500 in internship grants. The grant program is funded through generous donations from companies and individuals.

Administration of this program is coordinated by NAFB staff. For more information, please email Mary Reder at mary@nafb.com or call (816) 431-4032.
