INSA interns work 20-25 hours per week and are paid $13 per hour. Interns must be U.S. citizens enrolled in a graduate program related to intelligence, national security, homeland security, or international affairs. Candidates in technical graduate programs (cybersecurity, science & technology, etc.) with a demonstrated interest in national security issues will also be considered. Interns must commit to the program for a minimum of two semesters (Spring/Summer, Summer/Fall, Fall/Spring), though many interns work with INSA for a full 12 months.
