FBI Summer Honors Program

Check out http://www.fbijobs.gov/231.asp for more information about the FBI Summer Honors Program. This is a great opportunity for those of you interested in the FBI or careers in security. Note that there are opportunities within this program at DC, but also other locations across the US.

The deadline is SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 for Summer 2009, so start your application today! Graduating students are also eligible for this summer opportunity.

Also check out the National Security Internship program, which also has a 9/30 deadline. http://www.edventurepartners.com/national_security_internship/default.asp

The FBI Honors Internship Program offers undergraduate and graduate school students an exciting insider's view of FBI operations and provides an opportunity to explore the many career opportunities within the Bureau. The Honors Internship Program brings students to work at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and will begin on June 8, 2009 and end on August 14, 2009. FBI Honors Interns can look forward to ten extremely rewarding and interesting weeks. You'll be working side-by-side with Special Agents and Professional Staff personnel on important cases and management issues. You'll feel like you're a part of the Bureau...because you are.

Honors Interns are assigned to an FBI Headquarters division based on their academic discipline, potential contribution to the division, and the needs of the FBI. For instance, Honors Interns whose discipline is in the physical sciences may be assigned to the FBI's Laboratory Division in nearby Quantico, Virginia. Honors Interns whose discipline is in information technology may be assigned to the FBI's Cyber Division or one of the FBI's IT divisions. All Honors Interns are under the supervision of the head (i.e., Assistant Director) of their assigned division.

By the end of your internship, you will have a thorough understanding of the inner workings of the FBI and a deep feeling of satisfaction that the work you have done has helped the lives of ordinary citizens. You will also learn about the many career opportunities at the FBI. No matter what career path you eventually choose, serving as an FBI Honors Intern will be an experience you will never forget, and one that will benefit you in all of your future endeavors.
