FBI to offer paid internships

It’s the last day the FBI will be accepting applications for its 2014 Honors Internship Program.

The 10-week program runs from June 1 to Aug. 9 and lets students 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, according to U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar in a statement.

“Experiences like these during collegiate years are what shape lives and career paths,” Cuellar said.

“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.”

Paid positions

The program offers 200 paid internship positions for students in field offices across the country as well as headquarters divisions 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.
