Capitol Hill Internship Program

The Capitol Hill Internship Program supports congressional internships in Washington, D.C., and local districts, as well as state legislatures. Students who secure an unpaid, non-credit internship can receive a stipend of $450 per week up to a maximum of $4,500 for the summer. The application process is competitive and five students will be selected to receive funding. Placement in an internship is not guaranteed and it is up to the student to secure the opportunity. The Center for Career Advancement provides guidance and resources.
