Bob Beverly Legislative Intern
Scholar Program

Yes! Our programs are open to all majors.

Yes! Interns receive $6,000 upon completion of their internship, however a portion of the scholarship will go toward the housing we provide.

Currently, we provide dorm housing for our interns at Sacramento State. This is subject to change depending on the year.

We will reimburse you for a public transit pass or a Sacramento State parking pass.

Our internships are in-person, but depending on your assigned office, you may experience occasional remote work.

Yes! You can apply to any of our open programs, but please note that each program has a separate application.

In the past, we’ve placed students in the Governor’s office, as well as offices of state legislators from both sides of the aisle. Placements are subject to change each summer.

After interviewing applicants, the participating legislative offices will send us their top candidates for placement. If selected, we will send an internship offer to you directly.

Once accepted as an intern, we will send you onboarding paperwork and you will be required to attend an orientation at our office. Some offices will require that you complete separate onboarding paperwork in addition to ours.

For our summer internships, you can expect to start in early June and end in early August. You will work with your assigned office supervisor to determine an official start and end date.

Possible intern responsibilities include attending hearings, researching legislative issues, responding to constituent inquiries, processing tour and flag requests, opening and routing incoming mail, and performing general office duties.

You may wish to work with your assigned office supervisor on determining more specialized projects and attending events that pertain to your interests.

First, our internships do not require ANY experience. For this reason, we hold an orientation at our office and provide you with a detailed handbook for extra information before your official start date. The Maddy Institute staff are also a great resource if you have questions!
