Subject: [UPAC] paid internship opportunity with the Arizona Legislative Internship Program

Hi Everyone:

We are accepting applications for the Spring 2014 Arizona Legislative Internship Program!

Every spring semester, the University of Arizona, ASU and NAU send 50 talented undergraduate and graduate students to Phoenix to work as legislative interns.   Interns are placed in the Arizona Legislature, the Supreme Court and the Governor's Office to work on legislative politics. The work is demanding and requires interns to  work a minimum of 40 hours per week for 18 weeks beginning on Monday, January 6, 2014.

Students get hands-on experience summarizing bills, drafting amendments, researching issues, attending committee meetings and hearings, making presentations before committees, and working on constituent problems. Students gain knowledge and experience that enhances their education and career possibilities.  The professional networks interns form are invaluable and often lead to job opportunities.

For their work as interns, students receive:

*         $4700 stipend

*         Tuition & fees scholarship for the spring semester of their service

*         up to $500 for reimbursed moving expenses (for those who reside outside of Maricopa County)

*         12 units of academic credit for undergraduates and 9 units of academic credit for graduate students.

To be eligible to apply, students must:

*         Be a current student enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree.

*         Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.

*         Be in junior, senior or graduate student standing.  Juniors must have a minimum of 75 units completed at the end of fall 2013 to participate in the spring 2014.  Seniors who are graduating in December 2013 are eligible to apply for the Spring 2014 internship program.

*         Students from all majors are encouraged to apply!



To learn more about this program, students are encouraged to attend our information session and a meet and greet with staff members from the Governor's Office, Supreme Court, House and Senate.
