The White House Internship Program was unpaid until 2022,[1][2][3] when President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan spending bill that set aside $4.5 million to pay White House interns.[4] Interns must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age, and must be either a current student, recent graduate, or veteran of the United States Armed Forces.[5] Those selected for the program are able to work in one of sixteen available presidential departments.[6]
The White House Internship Program is split into three semester seasons: summer, fall, and spring.[7]
In addition to the opportunity to work in the Executive Office of the President, the White House Internship Program also includes a speaker series, tours to sites around Washington, D.C., opportunities to volunteer in the community, and attendance at special events.[8]
