Graduates

Hours and Stipend

Graduate Scholars generally work Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., however, sometimes longer hours are necessary.

Assembly Graduate Scholars spend a minimum of 35 hours, or 70 hours per biweekly pay period, at the Capitol each week completing their Assembly assignments. The stipend is paid in biweekly installments following a two-week lag. Graduate Scholars receive a $23,000 stipend for the six month full-time Internship. Graduate Scholars are granted a Spring Break from the Assembly the week of April 14-18, 2025.

The stipend is meant to assist Interns in offsetting the costs in relocating to Albany, New York. The stipend is not financial aid for academic work, on-campus or classroom study.
