University and college students will be placed in the offices of members of Congress – in the Senate and in the House of Representatives – with a high level of involvement in startups, tech transfer and/or entrepreneurship, at the pleasure of the office. Before beginning at Congress, interns admitted into the Program will also participate in a one-week Silicon Valley immersion to experience startup culture from entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, startup companies and corporations in the valley.

Eligibility
Students must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program and have at least one year remaining in their degree program after completion of the internship. This program is purposely designed to appeal to, and will benefit from, students in all fields, backgrounds, interests and disciplines, who have the ability to be outstanding leaders for entrepreneurship and startup culture in public, private or academic settings. International students enrolled in American universities and colleges are welcome to apply, but need to be proficient to a high degree in written and spoken English and meet specific Congressional ethics rules that pertain to international student interns.
