Senator Grassley offers internships to college-age Iowans throughout the year. Spring and fall semester internships last approximately four months. Two summer terms of six weeks each are also available. The longer terms offer a broader range of experience and are paid positions. In addition, many schools offer course credit for internships.
Early application is encouraged, as the process of selection is competitive.
In Senator Grassley's office, interns are assigned to the Legislative, Computer, Administrative, Press or Judiciary departments, where they assist permanent staff members on a daily basis. In addition, the Washington interns enjoy opportunities to attend events such as Congressional hearings on Capitol Hill. And in Iowa, students may accompany Regional Directors to meetings regarding a host of public policy issues. Applications are available in the placement offices of all Iowa colleges and universities, as well as Senator Grassley's Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City, and Waterloo offices or click here to download the application using Adobe Acrobat Reader .
