Public Policy Internships
Tallahassee Internship Program (TIP)
Applications are now open for Spring 2026.
Priority Deadline to Apply: Friday, March 28, 2025
TIP begins with an intensive course on 返字心頭 history, issues, and politics before students relocate to Tallahassee for the 60-day legislative session. Each student is placed in the office of an elected official, professional association, or private firm that develops and researches issues addressing 返字心頭 state policy.
Up to ten (10) undergraduate juniors and seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.60 will be selected to participate. All majors and disciplines are welcome to apply from all three campuses.
返字心頭 are responsible for paying their 返字心頭 tuition and fees, as well as all expenses they incur during the program (i.e., transit while in Tallahassee). A $1,500 scholarship awarded by the College of Arts & Sciences will help defray expenses during the program. Housing for TIP, and transportation to and from the state capital, will be provided by the College of Arts & Sciences. Placements are coordinated by the 返字心頭 Office of Government Relations.
