The deadline to find an internship or propose a research project is April 20, 2018 and we will make decisions very quickly after that date.

If you would like help finding contacts for an internship I may be able to give you some ideas in the Washington, DC area. But you are not limited to DC  - these awards can be for internship in any area of the country.

2018 Jeffrey L. Pressman Awards
 Each year the Department gives out several awards for summer research or internship in US politics and policy.  Here are the guidelines for the proposals.

 Several stipends (maximum $6500 each) will be awarded to MIT undergraduates for use during the summer to undertake a special project or internship in US government, politics or policy.  The project should focus on some legal, political, institutional or policy issue.
