In January of each year the Speaker of the House distributes applications for students interested in participating in the Congressional Page Program.
Appointments are highly competitive.
Only seventy-two students are appointed by the 435 Member of Congress to serve as pages in the U.S. House of Representatives. To be eligible for the summer program, applicants must meet the same requirements as school year pages and be willing to serve for approximately one month during the summer before or after their junior year in high school. Applicants must submit a completed application to my office by March 30, 2001. The Speaker s office will not accept applications from students directly - only Members of Congress may forward an application . The Speaker s office will consider only complete applications submitted in writing by a Member of Congress.
