Internships

When are Senate internships available?

Senator Grassley offers internships to college-age Iowans throughout the year. Spring and fall semester internships last approximately four months. Two summer sessions of six weeks each also are available.  In addition, many schools offer course credit for internships. Early application is encouraged, and the selection process is competitive.
