The Institute of Politics offers funding for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors accepting non- or low-paying summer internships in local, state, or federal government, public interest groups, non-governmental organizations, political organizations, campaigns, and non-profit groups. Internships can be domestic or international, but international internships must have a government affiliation.
Students are responsible for obtaining their own internship. The internship should be full-time and last a minimum of eight weeks. Preference will be given to undergraduates who have never received an IOP Stipend, but students who have received one previous stipend are eligible to apply.
The IOP Summer Stipend Program is a need based program. Awards of up to $2,500 will be made based on the financial need of each student.
