Internships

AWIS takes great interest in helping young women gain skills compatable with their studies in science and engineering. Our highly competitive internship program is intended to introduce bright, innovative undergraduate and graduate students to the policymaking process and encourage them to become active and effective participants in public affairs. Working directly with our research analysts and policy-makers, or with professionals in one of our external departments, Heritage interns gain solid professional experience. In addition to their day-to-day assignments, interns attend weekly seminars designed to introduce them to conservative ideas, current policy debates, and have the opportunity to meet top Heritage Fellows and other outside scholars. We also arrange tours to places like the United States Capitol, the Library of Congress, Mount Vernon, and the Pentagon.

Alumni of the AWIS Internship Program can be found working in industry, academia, and for the government in a broad array of positions including public policy, communications, and project management. Today we offer competitive internships during fall and spring semesters and a ten-week summer program targeted specifically for undergraduate, underrepresented minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Students can apply to intern for marketing and communications, advocacy and public policy, special events and fundraising positions.
