Description

The Native American Congressional Internship Program provides American Indian and Alaska Native students with the opportunity to gain practical experience with the Federal legislative process to understand first-hand the government-to-government relationship between Tribes and the Federal Government. This award is available to Native American and Alaska Native college, graduate, and law students who live and work in Washington, D.C., during the summer. This program gave access to a network of Native professionals and alumni who work on behalf of Tribal Nations. It is an Internship award stipend to cover the cost of transportation to and from Washington, D.C., housing and per diem during the program period, and educational and miscellaneous expenses. Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation, a one-page professional resume, a transcript for all university coursework, including undergraduate and (if applicable) graduate and law, and the documentation of their enrollment as a member of one or more Federally Recognized Indian Tribes that are included in the annual list of Indian Tribes published by the Secretary of the Interior.
