Eligibility |
Each September, 10 young professionals from across the country come to Ottawa to experience Parliament Hill from a different perspective - a non-partisan viewpoint. As participants in the Parliamentary Internship Programme, interns work for Members of Parliament from both the Government and Opposition benches. They regularly meet with eminent Canadians through the Brown Bag Lunch seris and have access to a wide range of journalists, members of the diplomatic community and representatives of Canada's public and private sectors. Parliamentary interns get involved with a wide variety of tasks, based n their interestes and varied skill sets. The competition is open to Canadian citizens under 35 years who hold at least one university degree. Interns receive $22,000 scholarship for a period of ten months, plus subsidized education travel and other considerations. Interns are not allowed to receive remuneration for employment during the ten months of the internships. In recent years the stipend has generally been sufficient to cover basic living expenses. |
