It is important to note that many of these internships require applicants
to be current college or graduate students, to reside in Maryland, or to devote two or more full days per week (15-20+ hours)
to the internship. Also, it is often better to fax or email application materials for the D.C. internships, as security
measures can delay mail delivery up to a month. Please check the links provided for more information.
