Senator Durbin offers an internship program for undergraduate students of all majors, and graduate and law students who are interested in experiencing the day-to-day operations of a Senator's office.
Internships are available year-round. Intern schedules are based on each student's days and hours of availability. While interns receive no stipend, academic credit--based solely on each institution's criteria--may be earned.
Applications received early will be given preference and those received after the deadline will be considered as space allows. Students are strongly urged to send their materials as soon as possible, as positions fill quickly.
Applications should be mailed or faxed to the appropriate person listed on page 4 of the application form, or emailed to internships@durbin.senate.gov. Applications sent by email MUST include in the subject line the office location in which an internship is sought.
