Koch Summer Paid Internship DC

Too good an opportunity to relegate to the Friday roundup:

No doubt you and your students are bombarded with summer opportunities, but I want to draw your attention to a great summer internship program called the Charles G. Koch Summer Fellow Program. This program is an intensive ten-week paid summer internship program in public policy or nonprofit leadership.

The 2008 program offers three types of internships: policy internships in Washington, DC, policy positions at state-based think tanks, and nonprofit leadership/management. IHS places fellows in internships at think tanks and nonprofits and provides a $1,500 stipend, furnished housing (or a housing stipend for state-based fellows), and travel reimbursement. Fellows also attend educational seminars, weekly presentations on current policy issues, and career workshops.

The deadline to apply is January 31, 2008. More information can be found at www.TheIHS.org/intern. For a list of available internship placements, click on the "Internship Placements" link.

Please pass this information along to any students who would find it of interest.

Thank you for your time,
