Honors in Washington Internship Program

The Honors in Washington Internship Program helps place and support students in summer internships in Washington, D.C. Some students are selected for specific placements, and others are free to pursue new placements according to their interests. Past placements have included congressional offices, law firms, media companies, political consulting firms, and research organizations.

All Honors in Washington interns will live in the UGA in D.C. facility, Delta Hall, at 608 Massachusetts Avenue NE. Housing will be paid for, and interns who are not Foundation Fellows will receive an additional stipend.

Interns are expected to work an average of 40 hours a week for a minimum of nine weeks. Only second- and third-year Honors students (based on date of enrollment, not credit hours) are eligible to apply.
