WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., today announced in a news release he is accepting applications for congressional internships in his Washington and Kansas offices for fall 2014.

“Congressional internships offer Kansas students a great opportunity to learn about Congress and the legislative process,” Moran said. “I hope to give Kansans an opportunity similar to the one I had serving in a congressional office years ago.”

An internship in Sen. Moran’s office provides a unique opportunity to work closely with Senate staff on behalf of the state of Kansas. Legislative interns will gain a better understanding of the legislative process in the U.S. Congress, and develop knowledge and professional skills valuable to future career pursuits.

The intern program is open to qualified undergraduate and graduate students – or recent graduates – who have strong interest in public service and government and have achieved academic excellence. While preference is given to Kansas residents, students from all states are encouraged to apply.

The application deadline for fall 2014 internships is July 8. Applications may be obtained and completed under the “Services” section of Moran’s website at www.moran.senate.gov. Applicants should submit a completed application form, resume, academic transcript, two letters of recommendation and a cover letter explaining their interest in public service and detailing a policy issue of personal importance. Submit required materials to [email protected]

For questions, contact Sen. Moran’s office at [email protected] or call (202) 224-6521 and request to speak with the intern coordinator.
