The Congressional Fellows Program is a two-month summer opportunity for current undergraduate students (aged 18-24). A small group of 35 students are selected each year to live, work and learn together in Washington, D.C. Fellows live in the Cornerstone Intern House with other students working in D.C. and intern in Congressional offices or with other organizations in the D.C. area.

Each week, the fellows’ schedule includes community service activities, interning three days a week, and leadership training/teaching days. Congressional internship opportunities provide interns with a firsthand look at the inner workings of our nation’s leadership. One day a week will be focused on learning about the leadership model of Jesus of Nazareth through time spent with various Congressmen, Ambassadors, or other leaders. Overall, an intern can expect a dynamic and unique summer internship experience that will enrich their mind, heart, and resume.

How: Applications for the 2024 Congressional Fellows Program are due in March of 2024. In order to apply, you must (1) at least have sophomore standing, (2) have an overall GPA of 2.75, and (3) provide a current resume. 

Cost: The total cost for the nine-week program is still being determined, but will likely be around $3,400. This includes rooming, most weekday breakfasts, and most weeknight dinners. A $100 non-refundable deposit is due upon acceptance (this deposit will be applied to the total cost).
