Harkin Institute D.C. Experience Scholarship
The Harkin Institute helps undergraduate students afford to travel to Washington for an internship through our D.C. Experience Scholarship.
This scholarship is designed to expose the student to policymakers and the policymaking process, much as Senator Harkin experienced as an intern for Congressman Neal Smith in the summer of 1969, an experience that inspired Senator Harkin to pursue a career in public service. Our scholarship covers the recipient’s housing accommodations and travel expenses.
If you’re considering interning in D.C. this summer, visit http://bit.ly/2jsWEFj to apply for our 2017 D.C. Experience Scholarship by April 4.
