The Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Ranking Member Blumenthal’s Internship Program provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn first-hand how a Senate Committee works to pass legislation, conducts oversight on federal agencies and programs, and implements policy. The program is intended to provide participants with the tools, skills, and experience that they can readily apply to future challenges and professional pursuits. We expect a great deal from our interns. Candidates will have a diverse, challenging experience and make a genuine contribution to veterans and the legislation that serves them.
We welcome all applicants who have demonstrated academic excellence and have displayed a commitment to public service. While preference will be given to veterans and others with demonstrated knowledge of veteran and military issues, students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
This program is designed to enhance a course of study for an undergraduate or graduate student. The level of work is appropriate for students who have completed their junior or senior level at a college or university. On the whole, the goal is to offer as rewarding an experience as possible, while fulfilling the existing needs of the office.
This fall, the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs’ Washington, D.C. office will host an intern between September 2, 2025 and December 12, 2025 (dates can be flexible). We are looking for a full-time or part-time intern. The application deadline is Friday, July 11, 2025.
