Deadline: On Rolling Basis
Applications are invited for the Bipartisan Policy Center Internship Program 2027. BPC offers paid internships year-round, giving interns hands-on experience in policy research, events, and the policymaking process in Washington, DC.
Interns that work with BPC’s various teams will have the opportunity to see bipartisanship in action. Interns see in real-time how people from both sides of the political spectrum work together to take the best ideas of both parties to create even better-lasting policies.
Inclusivity is both a core value and strategic strength. They invite anyone who wants to champion bipartisanship, regardless of their politics, demographics, identity of circumstance to join in. They extend this belief to their internship program, where they welcome all and respect those from different backgrounds.
Stipend
- Fall and spring internships are part-time and paid. Interns receive a stipend of $3,000. Hours are flexible and set up with the intern manager at the start of the semester, so students can gain experience while maintaining their class schedule.
Eligibility
- Applicants must be rising juniors or above, currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, or recent graduates.
- Non-U.S. citizens are eligible to apply but must have a valid work permit or visa verifying eligibility to work in the United States. They do not offer visa sponsorship.
Application
Required materials (submit as one PDF if possible):
- Resume
- Cover letter
- Writing sample (3-5 pages)
- College or university transcript (unofficial is fine)
- Brief response to “What does bipartisanship mean to you?” (5-8 sentences)
