Please send requests for applications for nominations to my Ridgewood office . Nominations are made prior to January 31st. A place in the Congressional Page program is one of the most sought after positions in Washington, D.C., for young people. Pages are juniors in high school from across the country who come to our nation s capital to spend a summer or a school year. While they attend classes part of the day, the rest of their day is spent running between the House and Senate offices and the floor of the House delivering documents to members and committees.
Pages earn a monthly stipend to pay for housing, food and spending money.
To be eligible, applicants must be at least 16 years of age at the time their appointment begins, be in their junior year of high school, and have a cumulative grade point average of B or better in all major classes. Also, they must be sponsored in writing by a member of Congress, which is where Marge comes into the picture. House pages are housed in Page Residence Hall, which is located right across the street from the House office buildings. They are under the supervision of a resident manager and five proctors who live in the building. There are strict codes of conduct and, curfews, too.
