Student Intern Program
Appointments for intern positions last from 10 to 16 weeks and are normally held during summer months. To be eligible for an internship, students must be enrolled on at least a half-time basis as determined by their college or university. GAO student interns are appointed on a nonpermanent basis and may be eligible to be converted to a permanent position after completing 400 hours of service and after meeting degree requirements. These internships are open to both graduate and undergraduate students.

Student Career Experience Program
GAO offers positions under the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP). This program allows GAO to attract diverse and talented students with skills which are critical to the future workforce needs of the agency. It provides for a work-study partnership between the student, the educational institution, and GAO.
The SCEP provides you, the student, an opportunity to gain work experience directly related to your academic field of study. It allows for a flexible work schedule on a part or full-time basis year-round. You will be eligible for earning leave and obtaining life and health insurance and other benefits.
