The Congressional Budget Office’s summer internships for graduate students provide excellent opportunities to experience and observe the budget process and policymaking at the federal level. The internships are located in Washington, D.C. They normally begin after Memorial Day and last 10 weeks. Interns contribute to CBO’s work in areas such as budget and tax policy, health care, national defense, the environment, education, retirement assistance, other income assistance, regulation, and public investment. In addition, interns participate in an educational program that includes briefings on CBO’s role in the budget process.  

Students must be pursuing graduate academic programs in economics, public policy, health policy, financial management, mathematics, statistics, or a related field. We are unable to consider undergraduate students for the Summer Internship Program. Candidates who do not complete their application by the February 28, 2019, deadline will not be considered.
