Senator Scott offers internships for college students, recent college graduates, and others looking to experience life on Capitol Hill. The purpose of the program is to give interns firsthand knowledge of the way in which a Senate office operates on a daily basis, to observe the legislative process at the federal level and to develop research skills related to public policy.

The basic internships program consists of four components:

Day-to-day operations: Responsibilities include assisting full-time staff in responding to various constituent requests, updating computer records and drafting general correspondences.

Observing the legislative process: Responsibilities include assisting full-time staff in preparing briefing summaries, observing floor proceedings and attending meetings related to specific legislation.

Research: Responsibilities include assisting full-time staff in developing detailed responses to constituent concerns and policy questions. The intern will be exposed to a variety of primary and secondary research sources, including the Library of Congress, federal agencies and affiliated organizations.

Individually assigned projects: Interns will often be given the opportunity to assist with a special project. The projects will vary according to the intern's interest and the needs of the office.
 

*Please note, students will need to apply for each semester for which they are interested in interning.

Internships are offered three times per year:

Spring - January through May
Summer - May through August/September
Fall - September through December

Location: Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C.
