WHO CAN APPLY?
The Senate does not have a formal internship program; however, the Senate Rules Committee is supportive of Senators who want to provide volunteer opportunities to individuals who want to give back to their community.      Each Senate office can select their legislative volunteers.  

COMPENSATION
Decisions regarding stipends, if any, are left to each SenatorÕs office. There is no salary scale for interns. 
Interns are not eligible for benefits.

In some cases, academic credit for students is provided at the completion of an internship. Check with your academic institution to determine if any requirements exist to earn academic credit. Make sure to share the requirements with your potential Senate office. 

Veterans from all branches of the military are welcome         to apply.

PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE
Senate interns serve as representatives of the Senate as an institution in addition to the Senator they work for in both the Capitol and District office. Therefore, it is recommended that interns dress in a manner appropriate to their job responsibility.
