Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I apply for a year-round internship?

resume, and unofficial transcript to DOFAdminServices@fdic.gov.

- How
do I know what kind of internship to apply for (STEP or SCEP)?
- STEP internships
do not need to be directly related to a student’s academic or career
goals. In the STEP program, there is no possibility for conversion to a
competitive appointment upon completion of the program.
-
SCEP internships are based on the possibility of a student’s
conversion to a competitive appointment within the FDIC upon completion
of the program. A student is only eligible for the SCEP program if the
work relates directly to their education and career goals. SCEP internships
require that the student complete 640 hours of work time before the completion
of their degree/certificate, in order to be eligible for conversion to
a competitive appointment.
Both programs allow for full-time and part-time work schedules. Students must
be enrolled at least half-time in an accredited school in order to be eligible
for either program.
