The U.S. Department of State’s Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS)
eInternship program is bigger and better than ever! This year, we have over
1,300 vacancies at 33 U.S. Government agencies. The 524 projects available this
year can be found here. Students can apply between July 2 – 26 on USAJOBS to
their top three projects.
VSFS is a way for the American public and government employees to collaborate
on projects of global importance. Selected applicants will contribute up to
10 hours per week from September 2017 through May 2018 working on projects
across the U.S. government. As eInterns, students will play an important role
in advancing the federal government’s reach in diplomacy, development, space,
journalism, trade, environment, health, agriculture, technology, housing and other
essential initiatives. Together, we can create a more effective, efficient,
and smarter government that takes advantage of an engaged and participatory
citizenry.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens enrolled in university level courses in the
U.S. or abroad. Last year, we had students in programs ranging from
undergraduate to PhD levels, both full and part-time, taking courses in
person or online. A resume, transcript, and statement of interest are
required as part of the application process. Interviews may be conducted in
August. eInternships are unpaid and do not require a security clearance or
travel.
