Congressional Summer Internship Program in Washington
This position is: Contract
Position Location: Washington, D.C.
The office of U.S.
Congressman Mike Ross of Prescott is now accepting applications for the
2012 Congressional Summer Internship Program in his Washington, D.C.,
congressional office. This highly selective program is designed to give
young people an opportunity to learn about the legislative process
through firsthand experiences.
The 2012 Congressional Summer Internship Program is split into two
sessions, offering this unique opportunity to as many students as
possible. The first summer session runs from May 29 – June 29, 2012, and
the second summer session runs from July 2 – August 3, 2012. Interns
may coordinate academic credit directly with their college or
university.
In order to be considered, applicants must be at least 21 years of age, a
high school graduate and enrolled in or currently attending an
accredited college or university. All applications must be postmarked
by March 15, 2012, to be considered. Applicants from Arkansas’s Fourth
Congressional District, which covers most of southern and western
Arkansas, are strongly encouraged to apply. Internships are also
available in Ross’s district offices located in El Dorado, Hot Springs,
Pine Bluff and Prescott.
"My summer internship program is designed to give our future leaders a
chance to learn firsthand about the federal government and the
legislative process,” said Ross. "Interning in our nation’s capital is
an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it allows students an experience
that simply cannot be simulated in a classroom. Congressional
internships also provide a unique setting for our students not only to
understand the importance of public service, but also to work on behalf
of the people of Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District.”
Any questions regarding the internship program such as dates,
eligibility, or housing should be directed to Ashton Honey in Ross’s
Washington office. Those interested in an application may obtain one
from Ross’s website at ross.house.gov/students; by e-mail at mike.ross@mail.house.gov;
by calling (800) 223-2220; or, by picking up an application in the El
Dorado, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff or Prescott offices. Mailed applications
