Native American Congressional Internship Program
| 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 in order to understand first-hand the government-to-government relationship between Tribes and the federal government. The fully-funded summer internship is for Native students who want to learn about the federal government. Udall arranges placements in federal agencies and on the Hill, and sets up meetings with Senators, Representatives, agency staff, Native professionals, and Native-serving organizations. The internship is funded by the Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy. You must have documented citizenship in a federally recognized tribe, state-recognized tribe, or First Nations of Canada (with proof of U.S. permanent residency).
