The Media & Leadership Academy at Grady College, June 16-21, 2019, is an immersive residential program focused on experiential learning. The program is open to rising high school sophomores to seniors interested in the mass communication field. Incoming UGA freshmen who intend to pursue a Grady College major may also apply. Registration is open through May 3, and the cost is $550. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available. Scholarship applications are due April 30. Space is limited to 60 participants.

Participants choose from one of the three offered tracks:Journalism, Advertising & Public Relations or Entertainment (video production). They spend the first half of the week learning about their chosen track. In the second half of the week, they develop more specific skill sets based on their interests by working in teams to complete a class project.
