The U.S. Senate Page Program offers high school students the opportunity to serve as pages in the United States Senate while living in the Senate Page Residence in Washington, D.C. Pages assist senators and staff with legislative duties on the Senate floor, deliver correspondence, prepare the chamber for sessions, and carry bills and amendments. Students simultaneously continue their education by attending the Senate Page School early in the morning before their Senate duties. The program has four sessions year-round: Fall Semester (September-January), Spring Semester (January-June), and two Summer Sessions (June and July). To be eligible for the Senate Page Program, you must have at least a 3.0 GPA and be 16-17 years old at the time of your session. This program does not accept any direct applications. To apply, you must contact your local senator and have them nominate you. The application process includes submitting a letter of interest, an official transcript, a health assessment, letters of recommendation, and immunisation records. This is one of the most prestigious government programs for high school students in the nation. Pages gain firsthand experience in American democracy on the Senate floor, develop responsibility and maturity, make lasting friendships, and even get paid! Ready to be a part of history?
