President Biden's White House will begin paying its interns for the first time in history this summer and fall, the administration announced Thursday.
The White House will offer a $6,000 stipend to its interns, beginning with the summer class which will work from June 20 to August 12. The summer class is now closed to applications, but the administration will accept applications for the fall class from June 13-24.
"This significant milestone of paying White House interns will help remove barriers to equal opportunity for low-income students and first-generation professionals at the beginnings of their careers and help to ensure that those who receive internships at the White House – and who will be a significant part of the leadership pipeline across the entire federal government – reflect the diversity of America." the White House said in a statement.
