How to become a House Page

The House of Representatives Page Program is a wonderful opportunity for young people to serve their country and learn about the legislative process. To qualify as a House Page, applicants must be high school juniors at least sixteen years of age who maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0. Although Pages are sponsored by a Member of Congress, they are not employed in any particular Member's office. Instead, they work as a team on the House floor assisting all 435 representatives.

Pages who serve during the school year attend the House of Representatives Page School, where they continue their eleventh grade studies as well as learn about House operations. Pages reside in the Page Residence Hall and are supervised around the clock by a full-time staff. Pages are paid employees and their room and board fees are deducted from their monthly paycheck.

Serving as a Page is an exciting, enriching experience that a student will always treasure. Several current Members of Congress began their careers by serving as Pages.
