The Times Corps is a talent-pipeline program for undergraduate students to receive career guidance from Times journalists over a multiyear period. The application is open to U.S.-based students who are completing their undergraduate studies in 2026, 2027 or 2028. International students who attend college in the United States are eligible to apply.
The application closes at 5 p.m. Eastern on Monday, June 17. Applications cannot be revised after they are submitted, and applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
The program is slated to begin in late summer 2024, and the incoming class is likely to comprise about 20 students.
The Times Corps will specifically seek students from underrepresented groups, such as students of color and/or students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Participants will talk with their advisers two or more times a year, for the duration of their undergraduate careers. Those conversations will focus specifically on career-building advice. Occasional speakers, training and activities will punctuate the experience.
Students who complete the program and spend at least two years in the Times Corps will be eligible for an all-expenses-paid trip to New York to tour The Times newsroom and meet its journalists. The best-performing Corps members, after they graduate, also may receive consideration for The New York Times Fellowship, an immersive, yearlong work program.
The Times Corps is not a paid job. Corps members are not employees of The New York Times, and they do not produce news or other content for The Times.
