School Contacts and Application Policies
The Legislative Internship must be completed for academic credit at a four-year college or university. Before applying, all students must arrange for a faculty member to oversee their academic credit for the internship (the faculty sponsor is usually the professor of record on the intern's transcript). Applicants must provide the name and contact information of their faculty sponsor on the application form.
Some schools have additional pre-application steps to be completed with the career office or campus coordinator. Campus contacts for most schools in Washington are listed below. If you attend a school that is not on this list, contact your career or internship office and talk to your advisor to identify a faculty sponsor and make sure you can receive credit before you apply.
