(Washington, D.C.) U.S. Rep. Mike Ross (AR-04) Monday announced that
he now is accepting applications for the 2006 Congressional Summer Internship
Program. Summer Session One runs from May 30 – June 30, 2006 and
Summer Session Two runs from July 5 – August 11, 2006 in Washington, D.C.
and in the district Congressional Offices in Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, El
Dorado, and Prescott. Interns may coordinate academic credit directly
with their college or university. Washington, D.C. Summer Congressional
Interns will receive a $1,500 stipend and subsidized metro cards.
In order to be considered, an applicant must be at least eighteen years
of age, a high school graduate, and enrolled or attending a college or
university. All applications must be postmarked by March, 13, 2006
in order to be considered. Ross strongly encourages applicants from
Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District to apply.
“The summer internship program is designed to give our future leaders
a chance to learn first hand about our federal government and the legislative
process. Participants of the Congressional Internship Program enjoy
a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience what simply cannot be simulated
in a classroom,” said Ross. “Congressional internships provide a
unique setting for our students to not only understand the utmost 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 Liz Thompson, Internship Coordinator of
the Congressman Mike Ross Summer Internship Program. Those interested
in an application may obtain an application from Ross’s website, http://www.house.gov/ross/pdf/intern.pdf,
by email, mike.ross@mail.house.gov, or by calling 1-800-223-2220. |
