Page Program Duties
House Pages have the unique privilege of interacting with all facets of U.S. Capitol. They serve predominantly as messengers between the house and senate, carrying documents between Members’ offices, committees and the Library of Congress. The semester Pages report to work directly after classes and continue until 4:30 or until the House adjourns for the day.

Students who are selected to serve as a Page participate for a minimum of one semester, but may be selected to stay for an additional semester.

All Pages are paid approximately $1, 500 on the last day of every month. Automatic deductions will be made for both federal and state taxes, as well as Social Security and residence hall fees. These fees consist of an initial $100 security deposit and a monthly $400 fee. The monthly fee includes five breakfasts, six lunches and five dinners per week and is automatically deducted from the Page’s salary.
