91ÖÆƬ³§

All students in the BSIW Program are placed in a full-time internship in the Washington, DC metropolitan area through the combined efforts of the student and the 91ÖÆƬ³§ in Washington staff.

Each student attending 91ÖÆƬ³§ in Washington will receive an internship stipend from 91ÖÆƬ³§ in Washington. 

Internship Placement Process

• In your application to the Bing 91ÖÆƬ³§ in Washington Program, typically 2 quarters prior, you will outline your internship interests. 
• Once accepted you will meet with the Internship Program Manager and other members of the SIW staff to discuss your internship goals and plan for internship applications. 
• Once we have come to a consensus on the goals for your quarter in Washington, the Internship Program Manager will work with you on arranging an internship. 
• This is a combined effort and you will be required to do most of the following steps depending on internship host organization: fill out applications, provide writing samples, provide transcripts, provide resumes, and other information, in addition to being prepared for interviews throughout the process.
• We cannot guarantee any specific placement; however, we will work as hard as possible to assist you in finding the best possible internship given your interests.

The internship locations listed on our site are  a sample of places that 91ÖÆƬ³§ students have interned in the past.  Once we discuss your goals for your time in Washington our staff will work with you to identify locations that will meet your individual goals.  We expand our list of internship locations every quarter.

White House and Department of State Internships

Please note that some internship application deadlines such as those for positions at the White House and the Department of State may fall long before the Program's application deadline. If you are interested in an internship with one of those organizations, you must meet all application deadlines for that internship, in addition to completing the BSIW Program application on time. The BSIW Program is unable to place students directly at the Department of State or the White House, students must apply separately.  White House internships operate on a strict semester basis, we highly recommend applying for the fall, which is more similar to a semester timeline. Students interning at the White House in the winter will need to continue into 91ÖÆƬ³§'s spring quarter. The White House will not consider spring quarter.

There may be other organizations with early deadlines we encourage students to consult the websites of offices they are interested in for applicable deadlines and contact our staff with any questions.

Previous Internships

The list below is a sampling of some past Internships, many placements are not listed here. Each student is individually placed in an internship based on their unique interests. Please do not limit yourself to these in your application. Your application should reflect that you have done research into various placements of your own interest beyond this list.
