President Biden and Vice President Harris are committed to building an Administration that looks like America, ensuring that qualified individuals from every background and walk of life have an opportunity to serve our country. This commitment will be reflected in each individual internship class across the EOP. All who are interested and meet the established criteria are highly encouraged to apply.
In order to participate in an internship program at the EOP, participants must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years or older before the first day of the program. Additional eligibility requirements will vary by office.
All internships will be hosted in person on the White House campus, located in Washington, D.C. Please note that living accommodations and relocation support will not be provided.
All interns must indicate their COVID-19 vaccination status prior to the start of the program and must adhere to any White House-determined COVID-19 protocols, including but not limited to testing, masking, and/or social distancing.
Applicants who proceed to the final stage of the application will be required to complete the Standard Form (SF) 86 to determine whether they meet security eligibility requirements. Information requested on the SF 86 that may affect eligibility includes, but is not limited to, an applicant’s connections to foreign governments, criminal history, financial debts and tax compliance, and prior drug use (including marijuana, regardless of whether the marijuana use was permitted under state law).
All internship programs at the EOP support academic credit requests. While we do not arrange academic credit for you, if your academic institution hosts an academic credit program, we can work with you and your institution to accommodate these actions.
All internships at the EOP will pay a stipend of $750 per week for full-time participation (minimum of 35 hours per week) and $375 per week for part-time participation (15 – 34 hours per week). See details below from each office for more information on full-time and part-time opportunities. Please note that participants in any internship program at the EOP are not allowed to receive a separate outside source of funding from a third-party organization in connection with their participation in the program.
