As part of its mission to equip students to become future leaders in public life, the Center for Citizenship & Constitutional Government (CCCG) awards funding to help cover living expenses during summer internship experiences that broadly align with the CCCG’s mission. Because many of the best internships are unpaid, the additional funding enables students from all financial backgrounds to participate in these invaluable opportunities and jumpstart their careers.
