For example, an internship with Senator Mark Kelly’s Washington office or another member of the Arizona Congressional Delegation would qualify, as would Federal agencies and offices representing Federally recognized tribes in Washington, D.C. Private internships such as Washington Center internships do not qualify under the terms of the award. This award is in addition to any compensation that you receive for the internship, and you must show that you have a qualifying internship before any money will be disbursed.<\/p>\n This award is for one semester or summer semester. Recipients are encouraged to share their internship experience with fellow students and faculty. Award recipients may not reapply.<\/p>\n To apply, please provide a resume and write a short essay explaining why financial support would assist your internship, specifically identifying whether you have a qualifying internship and\/or what qualifying internship(s) you have applied for.<\/p>\n For more information, contact the Internship Coordinator by phone at (928) 523.0923 or by email at Marija.Bekafigo@nau.edu.<\/p>\n Applicants interested in a qualifying internship with Senator Mark Kelly should complete a separate internship application to Senator Kelly’s office, alongside the scholarship application and indicate the status of the application in their scholarship application essay. The deadline to apply to Senator Kelly’s Office is March 1st, 2025.<\/p>\n Being awarded an internship in Senator Kelly’s office is not a guarantee of receiving the award, but students with such internships have received the award in past years.<\/p>\n Apply now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n This scholarship was created in honor of L.
