The 2025 Fellowship program application has closed. For those interested in applying for the 2025 Fellowship program, please stay tuned for updates. You can find detailed information required for the application on the following page.
Overview
Undergraduate students serve in a congressional office in Washington D.C. for 10 weeks for the duration of summer 2025. While students may need to take an unpaid position, they may receive a financial stipend of up to $3,000 provided by KAGC. During their internship, Fellows will assist on issues related to Korea and the Korean American community; however, the scope of service is not limited to any one subject. Through this opportunity, students will gain a first-hand expectation in public service, policy-making processes, and national efforts towards civic engagement.
The 2025 KAGC Congressional Fellowship is open to all students interested in the mission of KAGC and its programs, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
