*Applications Open for Spring 2017 Keith Sherin Global Leaders Semester in
DC Program*

An exciting Capitol Hill internship/semester in Washington, D.C. is
available to an outstanding TRIO SSS or McNair student for the spring 2017
semester.

Sponsored by the Council's Keith Sherin Global Leaders Scholarship Fund and
hosted by Marquette University's Les Aspin Center for Government,
highly-motivated TRIO students (with at least a 3.0 GPA who have reached
the sophomore, junior or senior year of college) will be eligible to spend
a semester working in a Congressional office and learning about the
political process.  One student per semester will be selected for the
program, which runs from January 15 to May 5, 2017.

The internship-scholarship covers tuition, fees, and housing for the
semester program, which provides up to 18 credit hours. COE will also
provide a modest food and transportation allowance as needed.  Students are
expected to transfer their financial aid wherever possible.

"This presents a tremendous opportunity for exceptional TRIO students to
live, learn, and be part of government in Washington," said COE President
Maureen Hoyler. "Our program combines the adventure of working in the
Capitol for a member of Congress with a strong educational experience at
the Les Aspin Center," she said. "I urge students who care deeply about
policymaking and the political process to apply."

The deadline for applications for the spring 2017 semester is* Tuesday,
November 15, 2016.*    For more information, please view the video at
