U.S. Senate Page Program
Program · United States Senate · Washington, DC
Pages carry messages and support Senate floor operations while attending page school. Ages 16–17.
Our take
Paid, live in DC, work the Senate floor. Every senator sponsors a handful; reach out to yours early and directly.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
