Brookings Internship Program 2025

The Brookings Internship Program 2025 offers paid, professional internships for degree-seeking students and recent graduates. Internships are available across multiple Brookings areas and involve hands-on experience working with experts at a leading think tank, with opportunities to learn, contribute, and grow in a professional setting. The program is conducted in cycles (spring, summer, fall) with some roles requiring in-person presence in Washington, DC, and others offering remote options.

Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits; opportunities for continuing education and personal growth; involvement in diverse, community-building activities and meaningful work aligned with Brookings’ mission.

Open to degree-seeking students and recent graduates; PhD students are not eligible. International students with visa sponsorship through their college or university may apply. Remote interns must be within the United States for the duration of the internship, and prior Brookings interns are ineligible to reapply.

Submit required documents (resume, cover letter, transcript, writing sample, and references as requested) through the Brookings internship application portal.
