Study, Work, and Live in the D.C. area for the Spring 2023 Semester

The Virginia Tech Hokies on the Hill (HOH) Undergraduate Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to work on Capitol Hill, learn firsthand about the U. S. Congress and politics, and gain real-world experience in the nation's capital -- all while earning credit for a full-time course load. Students intern in congressional offices in both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as in government relations offices of private companies.

The next Hokies on the Hill internship class will commence Spring Semester 2023. There are limited slots available. Application forms will be due to the Office of Government and Community Relations via Handshake. An HOH application can be found in the sidebar of all HOH pages. Applications will be accepted starting on Friday, September 2, through 12:00 pm on Tuesday, September 6.

HOH Information Session will take place at 7:00 pm on Thursday, September 1, 2022, in New Classroom Building, Room 250.  Students interested in HOH are encouraged to attend the Information Session.
