Length of Internship
Generally I request that the intern be available to work in my office
for a two month period. My office will work with students who need to
make special arrangements. Internships are available for Summer, Fall,
and Spring.
Accommodations for D.C. Interns
There are several student residences in the Washington area where interns
may stay for a reduced price, although be advised that Washington, D.C.
is an expensive place to live.
Requirements
Any person enrolled in a four or two year college or university is eligible.
Only Juniors or Seniors in good academic standing should apply. All applications
will be reviewed with respect to Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity
Laws.
Letters of Recommendation
Three letters of recommendation from former professors or employers are
also required. Due to substantial delays in mail
delivery, it is strongly recommended these letters be faxed rather than
mailed. You may fax them to (202) 224-6471.
Academic Credit
It is the intern’s responsibility to arrange their academic credit
with their respective schools.
Compensation
U.S. Senate rules do not permit interns working in state offices
to be compensated. Your efforts are on a voluntary basis only.
