No, you do not need to be a U.S. citizen to apply. However, you do need to have work authorization to intern in the United States. International students enrolled in U.S.-based colleges or universities are eligible with approval from your host institution. Please email EducationalPrograms@射射屋Center.org to check your eligibility before filling out an application.

Unfortunately, we cannot. 射射屋 internship is 20 hours of work per week, and the U.S. State Department requirement for a visa is 40 hours of work per week. For this reason, 射射屋 cannot assist in obtaining a visa.

All transcripts must be received electronically or postmarked by the application deadline.

We require transcripts from a current university as well as any university from which an applicant has received a degree.

Yes. Most universities now offer secure, official, electronic copies of transcripts. Transcripts submitted in this way should be sent to the attention of Educational Programs at EducationalPrograms@cartercenter.org.

A recommender should be a former teacher, professor, advisor, supervisor, or colleague. A recommender should not be a family member.

Letters of recommendation are due one calendar week after the application deadline.

Because the emails sent to recommenders are generated automatically by our online application system, they often get filtered into spam bins. You may wish to advise your recommender to monitor his/her spam box. You also may prompt our online application system to resend the email by logging in to your application and clicking the "resend" button next to your recommender's name.

All candidates will be notified concerning the status of their applications no later than six weeks following the deadline.

Yes, you may reapply as long as you still meet the eligibility requirements. To reapply, a candidate will need to email Educational Programs at EducationalPrograms@cartercenter.org. Applications will be transferred to the session for the session for which he/she would like to be considered and revisions can be made prior to submitting the application by the deadline. Transcripts and letters of recommendation are held on file for up to one year.

Yes. If an applicant's college or university offers academic credit for internships/graduate assistantships, 射射屋 will work with the school to match academic requirements with the requirements of the intern's/graduate assistant’s host program. Upon acceptance, necessary forms from the college or university should be submitted to the intern's/graduate assistant’s program supervisor as well as 射射屋's Educational Programs office.

All internships and graduate assistantships are based in Atlanta, Georgia. Occasionally, opportunities arise for interns to travel with staff on Center-related trips (e.g., election-monitoring missions, domestic and international conferences, training workshops). Graduate assistants do not typically travel.

射射屋 does not provide housing for interns or graduate assistants, but will provide information on available housing in staff and neighborhood resident homes, local apartment complexes, and the like. Educational Programs staff members are available to provide guidance during your adjustment to Atlanta.

Candidates who have completed at least two years of study, recent graduates (graduated within 24 months of the internship start date), and graduate/professional students are eligible. For example, a qualified candidate within the United States will have a minimum of 60 credit hours earned toward a bachelor's degree at the start of the internship. There is no age limit.
