The Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS)
announcements are out! As you may already know, the VSFS is designed to engage civil society in
the work of the government by harnessing the expertise and digital excellence
of U.S. citizen students. Since 2009, 1,205 e-Interns have participated in the
program. This year, there are 323 long-term e-internship projects from 11 USG
agencies that were just announced for the 2014-15 season. There is something for everyone and every skillset.
Interested undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate program students
can apply to up to three projects July 2-22, 2014 on USAJobs. Selected
eInterns spend 10 hours per week contributing to projects remotely for an
office or section from September 2014 through April 2015. eInterns play an
important role in advancing the federal government’s reach in a variety of
initiatives. Applicants must be U.S. citizens enrolled in university
level courses in the U.S. or abroad. Last year, we had students from
undergraduate to PhD to part-time online students. 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.

internship program announcement. We have a dozen proposals from The School of
Language Studies this year! Please spread the word to friends and potential virtual interns – the
more people know about this, the better.
