Our Partners

New York Public Radio

New York Public Radio partners with Scholarship Plus to provide our students with paid internships between high school and college at the headquarters of this outstanding public radio producer and broadcaster. Students work with development officers, on-air journalists, administrators and human-resources executives, developing work and people skills surrounded by interesting and dedicated staff members.

As part of the program, each student is assigned a mentor from New York Public Radio.

NYPR's news, information, classical music and cultural affairs programming and live events reach a combined radio, web and studio audience of more than two million people each week.
