Congressional Budget Office 2015 Summer Internship Program

Congressional Budget Office (CBO) summer internships provide excellent opportunities to experience and observe the budget process and policymaking at the federal level. The internships are located in Washington, D.C. They normally last 10 weeks, beginning after Memorial Day. Interns contribute to CBO’s work in program areas such as budget and tax policy, health care, national defense, the environment, education, retirement and other income assistance, regulation and public investment. In addition, interns participate in an educational program that includes briefings on CBO’s role in the budget process. CBO interns may also participate in seminars, such as the Congressional Summer Intern Lecture Series.

Students should be pursuing graduate academic programs in economics, public policy, health policy, financial management, mathematics, statistics or a related program. Compensation is based on academic level and related experience. A local transportation subsidy, of up to $130 per month, is provided.

The deadline to apply is February 27, 2015.  For more information, please click here.
