The Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation’s Native American Congressional Internship program offers Native American and Alaska Native graduate and law students the opportunity to gain professional leadership experience in Washington, DC. The program enables students with an interest in the federal government’s relationship with the tribes to work in congressional and agency offices which deal with Native American issues and policy. Legal internships may be arranged with select offices such as the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the Solicitor’s Office in the U.S. Department of Interior, or the Department of Justice, Office of Tribal Justice.
The ten-week summer program provides interns with round-trip airfare, lodging, per diem, and an educational stipend. Applications must be received by January 31, 2012. More information is available on the Udall Foundation’s website.
