What it pays for

The Native American Congressional Internship Program identifies future leaders in Indian Country and places them in Congressional and Federal agency offices in Washington, D.C. to learn firsthand how the Federal Government works with and impacts Tribes and Tribal communities. The Internship provides professional development for up to 12 deserving and qualified students annually, connecting them to a network of leaders and policymakers in Indian affairs. The Internship Program is funded by a combination of annual appropriations and a permanent trust fund endowment. Assistance is intended for the use of Interns only.
