Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be accepting applications for its 2014 Honors Internship Program (HIP) between January 29th and February 4th. The 10-week program runs from June 1st to August 9th and is a great opportunity for students to work with special agents, intelligence analysts, and professional staff. Interns gain valuable career experience and many use the program to springboard to an FBI career.

“Experiences like these during collegiate years are what shape lives and career paths,” said Congressman Cuellar. “Internship programs provide opportunities to network and gain leadership skills. I strongly encourage students who are interested in this field to take this opportunity to complement their education with hands-on experience.”

The program offers 200 paid internship positions for students in Field Offices across the country as well as in the Headquarters divisions in and around Washington, D.C.

To qualify, applicants must:

·         Be a U.S. citizen;

·         Possess a GPA of 3.0 or higher;

·         Be an undergraduate, graduate, or post-doctorate student who will not graduate prior to June 1;

·         Be able to pass an FBI background investigation and receive a Top Secret security clearance.
