College internship positions are available at Senator Stevens' Washington, D.C., office, and may be available at his Alaska offices. College internships last throughout the summer. The internship program offers young Alaskans the opportunity to assist the Senator and staff members in a variety of ways. Interns' assignments could include researching legislative issues, monitoring committee hearings, answering telephones, performing clerical and press office duties, or delivering messages to the Senate floor. High school interns' schedules also include visits to national monuments, landmarks and historic sites, cultural and sports events and a day trip to Baltimore.
Interns receive a weekly stipend to cover housing and normal living expenses.
The Senator's Washington, D.C., office arranges for housing at a reasonable fee, usually on the campus of the George Washington University. High school applications must include a two page essay, the applicant's school transcript and resume, and the names, addresses and phone numbers of two adult references. College interns are required to submit a cover letter, a resume, college transcripts, at least two letters of recommendation and one or more writing samples.
