MSP Is Just Getting Started

MSP gives students hands-on media experience at major events. Scholars captured behind-the-scenes content, highlighted athletes and performers, and documented cultural experiences, building diverse portfolios and gaining industry exposure.

This summer, the eyes of the world are on Atlanta. While global football giants battle on the pitch, the next generation of sports journalists, broadcasters, and digital creators will be capturing history from the heart of the action.

The Media Scholars Program embeds talented student creators directly into the Atlanta FIFA Fan Experience—turning the biggest sporting event on earth into the ultimate real-world newsroom.

In the fall, Atlanta becomes the epicenter of urban music and culture. While legendary artists and rising stars take the stages, the next generation of cultural critics, music journalists, photojournalists, and digital creators will be behind the scenes capturing the magic.

The Media Scholars Program embeds talented student storytellers directly into ONE Musicfest - turning one of the country's most iconic music festivals into an active, high-octane newsroom.

ESSENCE Festival of Culture 2026

For MSP scholars, ESSENCE is more than a festival. It is a living classroom.

Our scholars will have the opportunity to experience the energy of a major cultural event while gaining exposure to the people, brands, stories, and career pathways that shape the media and entertainment industries. From cultural programming and live events to networking, content creation, and professional development, ESSENCE gives our scholars a front-row look at how culture moves through media.

MSP exists to help talented students from underrepresented communities access the rooms where careers are built. Being present at ESSENCE Festival of Culture allows our scholars to see what is possible, build confidence, expand their networks, and learn from one of the most influential cultural gatherings in the country.

We are excited to bring the next generation of sports, media, and entertainment leaders into this powerful space in New Orleans.
