AEI Internships
AEI internships provide students with an opportunity to work directly with some of America’s most renowned scholars, economists, political scientists, and foreign policy specialists conducting research on today’s prominent public policy questions. The Institute provides an intellectually stimulating environment, rich with critical thinking, scholarship, and lively debate.
Our internships offer opportunities on the research side of the Institute (Economics, Health Care, Poverty Studies, Foreign and Defense Policy, Education, Politics and Public Opinion, Society and Culture) as well as on the business side (Executive Office, Development, Government Relations, External Affairs, Media Relations, Video Production, Accounting, Academic Programs, and Communications).
AEI internships are available in the Fall, Spring, and Summer to experienced undergraduate students, graduate students, and recent graduates. A minimum 3.0 GPA is required; however, most successful candidates have at least a 3.5 GPA.

Applications Open: AEI's Summer Honors Program
The AEI Summer Honors Program aims to provide ambitious and talented undergraduates the opportunity to study alongside some of Washington, DC’s most renowned policy experts. Through 16 courses on topics ranging from constitutional law, to US-China relations, to the American health care system, to the underpinnings of democratic capitalism, participants explore some of today’s most pressing public policy issues alongside a cohort of students from across the ideological spectrum. Outside of the seminars, students have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of scholars and commentators from think tanks and publications, and explore possible career paths in Washington.
