Young Menswear Association (www.yma.com)
The YMA Scholarship / Grant Committee has established a summer internship
program for selected YMA scholars - The YMA Intern Program. This program
has as its goal - to bring talented above average student scholars into the
industry, to have them experience a real industry environment and to allow them
to establish a work presence that will lead to career opportunities upon their
graduation.
This program is an extension of the successful YMA Scholarship / Grant
program. The program is directed toward YMA scholars that have expressed an
interest to intern with participating YMA companies as expressed on their
Scholarship Interest form.
The program considers student scholar candidates that are juniors and will be
entering their senior year. The program is designed to dovetail with the current
YMA Scholars program in offering summer work experience between a scholar's
junior and senior school year. To be considered for this internship program, the
Student Scholar must a first selected by the YMA Scholarship / Grant committee
for a YMA Scholarship/Grant.
Once a YMA Scholar has been selected and they have expressed an interest to
serve as an intern, their information will be submitted to an interested YMA
supporting company for consideration. If a YMA Scholar is selected to work as
an intern, the scholar will be subject to the rules and consideration of the
participating YMA supportive company. YMA Scholar interns are to be
compensated in accordance to the company's standard compensation policy for
summer interns. Our program intends for YMA Scholars to be compensated.
YMA Intern candidates would have to fulfill the requirements normally necessary
to become an intern at a YMA supporting company. Our hope is that the talent
and interest level represented by a YMA Scholar would exceed expectations.
Scholarship Applications are due to schools on December 1 Internships are
announced early April.

The YMA Scholarship / Grant Committee has established a summer internship
program for selected YMA scholars - The YMA Intern Program. This program
has as its goal - to bring talented above average student scholars into the
industry, to have them experience a real industry environment and to allow them
to establish a work presence that will lead to career opportunities upon their
graduation.
This program is an extension of the successful YMA Scholarship / Grant
program. The program is directed toward YMA scholars that have expressed an
interest to intern with participating YMA companies as expressed on their
Scholarship Interest form.
The program considers student scholar candidates that are juniors and will be
entering their senior year. The program is designed to dovetail with the current
YMA Scholars program in offering summer work experience between a scholar's
junior and senior school year. To be considered for this internship program, the
Student Scholar must a first selected by the YMA Scholarship / Grant committee
for a YMA Scholarship/Grant.
Once a YMA Scholar has been selected and they have expressed an interest to
serve as an intern, their information will be submitted to an interested YMA
supporting company for consideration. If a YMA Scholar is selected to work as
an intern, the scholar will be subject to the rules and consideration of the
participating YMA supportive company. YMA Scholar interns are to be
compensated in accordance to the company's standard compensation policy for
summer interns. Our program intends for YMA Scholars to be compensated.
YMA Intern candidates would have to fulfill the requirements normally necessary
to become an intern at a YMA supporting company. Our hope is that the talent
and interest level represented by a YMA Scholar would exceed expectations.
Scholarship Applications are due to schools on December 1 Internships are
announced early April.
