DALLAS – DFW Asian-American Citizens Council (DFWAACC) will launch a new Washington, D.C. intern scholarship program for North Texas Asian American college students. An Intern Workshop will be conducted on Monday, December 28.
In recognition of a desire to encourage Asian Americans to become active participants in public service and government affairs, DFWAACC announced the creation of a new intern scholarship initiative. The program’s goal is to provide assistance in the intern application process and award financial support to area Asian American college students. Selected students will be awarded a scholarship toward living expenses during the internship period.
The program will initially focus on D.C. internship positions with the White House and U.S. Congressional Members. The first internship session under consideration will be the Summer 2010 session, with application deadlines in February and March. Applicants are required to be U.S. citizens and to submit a completed application packet required for the internship position. North Texas Asian American college students are encouraged to contact DFWAACC to indicate their desire to participate in the program.
A workshop will be held on Monday, December 28, 2009 from 6:30pm to 8:30 pm to provide information on various internship positions, as well as application requirements and deadlines. Mr. Cass Calloway, a former White House intern, will be on-hand to provide practical advice and guidance to interested students. The workshop will be held at the Richardson offices of Haynes and Boone, LLP, at 2505 N. Plano Road, Suite 4000, Richardson, TX 75082. Please email dfwaacc.intern@gmail.com to sign up for the workshop.
