Frequently Asked Questions

I am a permanent resident of the United States. Am I eligible to apply?

Yes, you are eligible to apply. However, while there may be some agencies in the Federal government that can hire permanent residents for their positions, the majority of positions that students go into at the Federal level require a level of security clearance that requires US Citizenship. Students can also meet their commitment by working for state and local government where hiring of permanent residents are a little more common. Once you graduate you have 18 months to secure a position to meet your commitment.

Will I receive the stipend during the summer months while I’m not in school?

You do not receive a stipend during the summer months. Generally speaking, your 10 week summer internship will be paid employment.
