Georgetown’s Institute of Politics and Public Service at the McCourt School of Public Policy plans to partner with the television network Telemundo to launch a stipend program to award six students $3,000 grants for unpaid summer internships in politics, media, government, public service or journalism.

José Díaz-Balart, a fall 2017 visiting fellow and host of Telemundo, donated his stipend from GU Politics to better facilitate opportunities in public service for a wider range of students, according to GU Politics Executive Director Mo Elleithee.
