NFL Summer Internship Program participants have the opportunity to contribute to the organization's success while receiving an unmatched, behind-the-scenes learning experience. Though interns work within specific departments, they are able to explore all aspects of the business of professional football through speaker presentations, mentoring relationships and networking opportunities.

Selected applicants are placed within the NFL based on interest, experience, academic coursework, and the NFL's business needs. This year's intern roles at the League Office will include the following departments: Communications & Public Affairs, Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, Internal Audit, Legal, Security and Digital Media.

The summer program runs from June 6, 2011 to July 29, 2011. The program will require interns to work 5 full days (approximately 40 hours) per week. Interns will receive a stipend of $500 per week. Law students selected for the legal internship will receive a stipend of $750 per week.
