General information on the internship and the application process is found below. Please read all of this before completing an application (also found below).
Internship Information:
Purpose of the Internship:
The Department of Education Intern Program seeks to provide students with an experience that exposes them to government and federal education policy while providing students with meaningful responsibilities.

■Policy Analysis
■Evaluation and Research
■Project and program management
■Finance
■Public Affairs and communications
■External Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations
■Legislative Affairs
■New media
■Legal work
Some offices that have hosted interns before are:
■Elementary and Secondary Education
■Student Financial Aid
■Higher Education
■Special Education
■Vocational and Adult Education
■Civil Rights
■Safe and Drug Free schools
■International education
■General Counsel
All ED interns are invited to participate in intern specific events. Alongside weekly brownbag lunches with top ED officials, past interns have also had the opportunity to attend events including: White House tours, Let's Read! Let's Move!, Staff vs Intern Softball games, and a trip to a DC public school.
Criteria for Participation
The Student Volunteer/Intern:
■Must have permission of the institution at which he/she is enrolled to participate in the program.
■Must be enrolled not less than half time in a course of study related to the work to be performed.
■Must be currently attending a high school, trade school, technical or vocational institute, junior college, college, university or other accredited educational institution.

Application Process:
Applicants for the ED Intern program will be accepted throughout the year on a rolling application schedule. Applications need to be received at a minimum of a month before the proposed start date to be considered, however, it is highly recommended that applications are submitted much further in advance due to high demand for spots in the program (especially during the summer season).
Once an application is received, the applicant may receive a request for an interview and then may be offered a second round of interviews with relevant intern supervisors. Once notified of ED's decision, accepted applicants will have a week to either accept or decline the position offer. The whole process from application submission to receiving an offer may take several weeks, depending on the demand for intern positions at ED and the timing of the submission.
While there are four terms that the bulk of intern programming occurs in, ED welcomes interns at any point throughout the year and it is up to intern candidates and their prospective supervisors to negotiate the exact dates of internships. The four primary terms take place during*:
■Summer: June-July has most of the programming while there will be limited programming during May and August.
■Fall: September – early December
■Winter: late December – mid February
■Spring: mid February - April
*students are invited to apply to any set of dates that most convenience them. However, introductory trainings and most events will occur during the outlined seasons.
Application Instructions:
No application will be considered complete until three items are received by ED: a cover letter; an up to date resume; and a copy of the intern application, found below.
Intern Application Instructions: click on the gray areas to insert information into the neighboring field. If unclear as to what to put, leave the field blank and include the question with an explanation of the confusion in the body of the email submitting the completed application.
Cover Letter Instructions: Your cover letter should outline why you would like to work at ED, briefly summarize past experiences in the field of education, if applicable, and list specific offices that you would be interested in working in. Because of the high interest in working for ED it may not be possible to place you in your first choice office.
When all three documents are completed the complete package should be sent in one email to StudentInterns@ed.gov with the subject heading "[Last Name], [First Name]: [Term] Intern Application". For example, if your name was John Smith and you were applying for the fall term the email containing your completed application would have the following heading: "Smith, John: Fall Term Intern Application." If you are applying for multiple seasons or late in one term pick the earlier term that you are applying for. If you have any questions on submitting an application please email StudentInterns@ed.gov or call our Central Employment Line at 202-401-4100.

About the Program
RAND's Summer Associate Program introduces outstanding graduate students to RAND, an institution that conducts research on a wide range of national security problems and domestic and international social policy issues.
The program receives about 600 applications each year for the 30+ positions. The selection process is based on matching associates and their specific skill sets with researchers and their project needs. Given the ever changing research climate, we often do not know which projects may require summer associates until the beginning of the year.
The program runs in the summer months only. Summer associates work at RAND fulltime for a 12-week period. Positions are available in RAND's three major U.S. offices — Santa Monica, Arlington, and Pittsburgh. All summer associates are collocated with project mentors. The location of the project mentor determines the location of the summer associate. Students receive a stipend and are given the opportunity to conduct research that can be completed during the three months they are at RAND. The summer stipend in 2011 was approximately $12,000 (before taxes) for the 12 weeks of fulltime research.
Eligibility
The program is designed for fulltime students who have completed at least two years of graduate work leading to a doctorate or professional degree (e.g., law or medical degree, professional engineer certificate). Students must be enrolled fulltime in a graduate degree program during the spring and fall of 2011 to be considered for the program. Students graduating prior to September 2012 are encouraged to look at our fulltime positions at www.rand.org/jobs.html.
U.S. citizenship is not necessary except for positions that require security clearances.
Most of RAND's professional hiring is at the PhD level, so our summer program is oriented toward individuals who are generally within a year or two of completing their doctorates. Occasionally, there are projects that match the skills of graduate students in other stages of their education who also have significant work experience. Exceptions are made for masters' students applying for our engineering and computer or information science positions.
Who is not eligible: The program does not hire undergraduates for the summer. Also, those students graduating prior to the summer of employment are not eligible to apply. The program typically does not consider Master's degree students without significant work or research experience. Postdoctoral fellows are not eligible for the summer program.
Structure of the Associate Program
Each associate is assigned to a research project and is mentored by a senior research staff member—usually one with the same academic background as the associate. This assignment is part of RAND's associateship arrangement. A student is offered an associateship only after the student and RAND agree that a good match exists between the student's interests and skills and the needs of an ongoing RAND research project.
Past associates have worked on a wide range of projects. Each student is required to present a seminar at the conclusion of the associateship.
Associates have full access to RAND's research facilities. These include state-of-the-art computer hardware and software, a nationally acclaimed library, an extensive data facility that obtains and maintains research databases, special consulting and training services in computing, statistical analysis, and oral presentations.
About RAND
RAND is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. As such, it provides a distinctive environment for graduate students.
•RAND's primary activity is research. The environment provides a rich variety of ongoing studies and an experienced staff of professional researchers with whom associates interact.
•RAND projects are typically interdisciplinary. Some research projects bring together economists, psychologists, statisticians, and health professionals, for example, whereas others bring together engineers, operations researchers, and students of organizational behavior.
