Forbes believes in the power of entrepreneurial capitalism and uses it on various platforms to ignite the conversations that drive systemic change in business, culture and society. We celebrate success and are committed to using our megaphone to drive diversity, equity and inclusion.
Newsrooms are best when they reflect different backgrounds, voices, and points of views. The Forbes Scholars Program was created as a step toward realizing this ideal, focusing on preparing and supporting emerging Black journalists and journalists of color from HBCUs interested in business journalism. Acceptance into this program includes participation in editorial workshops and mentorship, provided by senior editors– leading up to a paid 8–12-week internship (mid-June – mid-August).
Our HBCU Scholar Interns have written dozens of posts for Forbes.com and contributed to our flagship lists, including the Forbes Under 30, Top Colleges, Cloud 100 and more. As an HBCU Scholar, you will be assigned to a beat—Business, Education, Innovation, Lifestyle, Money, Wealth & Leadership, Video & Social — and work closely with your corresponding editor throughout the summer. You will receive support and mentorship to meet professional goals, accelerate your learning and hone your writing and storytelling skills.
This role can be fully remote (within the U.S.), in-person based out of Jersey City, NJ, or on a hybrid work schedule.
About the role:
Our HBCU Scholars program is one of the ways we identify and hire top talent within our organization. Many of our HBCU Scholars have transitioned to full-time roles within our newsroom. We are looking for rising journalists who embody the Forbes entrepreneurial spirit to innovate, identify new opportunities and who are passionate about learning.
