Preferred Agency and Program Tracks





Rising seniors or graduate students from the Schar School of Policy and Government have guaranteed consideration for the Department of Transportation and if selected, will receive the stipend levels of $3,500 for part-time, administered directly by the Schar School. Schar students may apply for the other agency options; however, these agencies are open to a national pool of candidates and consideration is not guaranteed to Schar students. Stipends associated with the other agencies vary and are administered by the Future Leaders in Public Service internship program, not the Schar School. If interested in the agencies open to the national pool, Schar students are strongly encouraged to review program benefits and eligibility thoroughly.


The Future Leaders in Public Service Internship Program is seeking candidates with various backgrounds to fill potential positions during the fall across the participating federal agencies. Therefore, we created different tracks to align with opportunities based on candidate backgrounds. Please choose up to two tracks that you are interested in that match with your area of study. Example backgrounds are listed after each track for your reference.
Please note- the tracks have been updated since 2022 to better reflect agency needs. 'Mission support' has been combined with 'Public Policy & Administration.'
