Awarded applicants will be placed at a summer 2025 fellowship position in either a state or federal government agency, Capitol Hill, or a key public service institution in Washington D.C. Fellows will be provided a stipend of $3,000. Assistance for transportation and housing is also available to those who qualify based on financial need (up to $2,000). Additional details:

  • The AALP is organized by the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC) and funded by the Arab American Leadership Fund, housed at the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP).
  • Once you apply, you will be contacted by NNAAC staff to discuss your application. Accepted applications will be connected to a Congressional office based on the office’s needs and interests in candidates. From there, you will interview with the Congressional office for their available internship position. Progression through this stage does not guarantee a congressional internship; ultimately, that decision will be made between you and the offices you interview with.
  • The Summer 2025 AALP cohort is expected to run between May to August, with official start and end dates to be determined between the Congressional office and the accepted applicant.
  • AALP awardees will be expected to participate in a virtual orientation and skill-building session prior to the start of their internships.

Requirements

  • At least 20 years old
  • Currently enrolled at an accredited college/university in the United States OR have previously graduated from such program
  • Cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher
