Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. (I, D, WF, WE - Sag Harbor) today announced that the New York State Assembly is accepting new applicants for its 2019 Session Internship program in Albany, New York.

The Session Internship offers college students a chance to participate in state government and the legislative process through a well-structured academic and practical learning experience. Most colleges and universities grant Session Interns a full semester of credit, as revalidated by the National College Credit Recommendation Service (National CCRS). The Assembly Intern Committee awards a stipend of $6,200 to each Session Intern in the January 7, 2019 to May 15, 2019 Internship.

Students must apply through their colleges or universities according to the deadline established by their academic institution. All applications must be postmarked by November 1, 2018, although extensions are usually granted if requested by the campus representative.

For more information on the program or how to apply, please call 518-455-4704, email intern@nyassembly.gov or visit http://nyassembly.gov/internship/.
