Page Program

Home / Constituent Services / Page Program
The Senate Page Program is an excellent opportunity for students to receive firsthand experience with the Legislative branch of our government. It is a challenging, yet rewarding opportunity for mature, hard-working students. Pages will work until the Senate adjourns daily, so candidates need to be self-motivated with excellent academic records. Cell phone use and email accessibility is limited.  According to the Senate Page School, their requirements are below:

  • Senate Pages must be sponsored by a Senator

  • Pages must be citizens of the United States or subject to agreements of the Department of State, and must have a social security number

  • Page eligibility is limited to juniors in high school who will be 16 or 17 years old on or before the date of appointment.

  • Summer Page eligibility is limited to students who have completed the sophomore year and who will be 16 or 17 years old on or before the date of appointment

  • Pages must verify a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a home school transcript and a certification of immunization to qualify for attendance at the school

  • A general health assessment completed by a licensed physician is required, in addition to a certification of immunization

  • Pages are required to be covered by health insurance; if not covered, they will be required to enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program
