WASHINGTON–U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today announced he is accepting applications for congressional internships in his Washington, D.C., and Kansas offices for spring 2016.

“Congressional internships offer Kansas students a great opportunity to learn about Congress and the legislative process,” Sen. Moran said in a news release. “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.

The application deadline for spring 2016 internships is Oct. 30, 2015. Application forms can be obtained and completed under the “Services” section of Sen. 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 the applicant’s interest in public service and goals of serving as an intern. Please submit required materials to: [email protected]

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