Want to Intern with the Maryland General Assembly and Earn a Stipend? Apply by Halloween!

Download the fillable application from https://fellercenter.umd.edu/gain-experience/internships/internships-credit. See the first bullet under "Helpful Links."

The application is a fill-in Word document and may be emailed back. It is due October 31, Halloween. It is being left up to the office and student to agree whether the internship will be “hands on” or virtual.

The matching process is from the middle of November through the middle of January. If a student notes a member in the preference section, Maryland General Assembly Human Resources will forward a copy of the application for consideration. If confirmed, they will email the student and the office a congratulatory email. This is referred as a pre-match. If not confirmed, the application will join the pool for offices to review. Applications circulate until Human Resources receives confirmation of a match. (Students who approach their home delegation after the match period are often offered internships belatedly.)

Maryland General Assembly internships are an excellent way to learn about state politics. Interns generally are given a high level of responsibility, and occasionally even have the opportunity to testify!
