WASHINGTON
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
is
now
accepting
applications
for
congressional
internships
in
his
Washington,
DC,
Upstate,
Midlands
and
Lowcountry
offices
for
the
spring
2016
term.
Senator
Scott’s
internships
are
designed
to
be
an
educational
opportunity,
primarily
for
college
juniors
and
seniors,
to
individuals
who
would
like
to
learn
first-hand
more
about
our
government,
and
to
be
part
of
a
fast-paced
Senate
office. Although
internships
in
all
offices
are
unpaid,
students
gain
invaluable
work
experience
and
an
opportunity
to
work
with
professionals
in
legislative,
constituent
services
and
press
roles.
In
Washington,
interns'
responsibilities
vary
and
include
answering
phones,
researching
legislation,
attending
Congressional
hearings
and
briefings,
assisting
with
press
tasks
and
assisting
with
constituent
letters
on
issues.
In
the
Upstate,
Midlands,
and
Lowcountry
offices,
interns
will
take
an
active
role
in
the
community,
working
on
state-based
projects
of
importance,
while
also
answering
phones,
completing
research
and
other
projects,
and
being
an
integral
part
of
day-to-day
office
functioning.
Internship
hours
are
flexible
to
accommodate
students'
course
schedules,
but
can
generally
run
8:30
a.m.
to
5:30
p.m.,
Monday
through
Friday.
Interested
South
Carolina
students
