Student Resources
Internship Opportunities
We are no longer accepting applications for Spring 2017 Interns, but are accepting applications for Summer 2017 Interns.
**DEADLINE FOR SUMMER INTERNSHIPS: March 31, 2017** An internship in my office provides a great opportunity for students to learn first-hand how our government works. Interns gain valuable knowledge and experience by having hands-on opportunity to learn about the legislative process, as well as the operations of a Congressional office.
Service Academy Nominations
Young people who are genuinely interested in pursuing a career in the military service and who are looking to build a career foundation at one of our esteemed service academies are encouraged to open a file in the Congressional District office by sending a letter of interest.
Student Financial Aid
Information is available to students to learn more about the process of locating and applying for financial aid.
Congressional Art Competition
Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Artistic Discovery Contest is open to all high school students in the 2nd District. The over-all winner of our district's competition will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The exhibit in Washington will also include artwork from other contest winners nation-wide.
