The FBI Honors Internship Program is a full-time, 10-week paid summer internship will occur from June 2, 2025 to August 8, 2025. This program is for undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral college students and offers exposure to the world’s premiere law enforcement and intelligence agency while also serving as a pipeline for entry-level positions after graduation. While exploring the FBI’s exciting career options, students will work side-by-side with FBI employees at one of our FBI offices nationwide. This internship offers students an unmatched opportunity to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States. At the end of their summer, Honors Interns who receive a positive evaluation may continue in the program throughout the school year.
This posting will be open from February 12, 2024 – March 1, 2024.
Job Summary
FBI interns come from a variety of backgrounds, and those hired as interns will be placed in assignments based on their location preferences, educational background, skill sets, and unique life experiences. The application cycle for the 2025 class will begin 18-months before the start of the internship in an effort to provide more time for applicant intake processing and our background investigation. Official conditional job offers are scheduled to be extended between September 3-13, 2024; recipients of a conditional job offer will have (3) business days from receipt to accept or decline it.
The FBI has 56 field offices centrally located in major metropolitan areas across the U.S. Our main headquarters offices are in Washington D.C., but we also have headquarters satellite offices located outside of the Washington D.C. area.
In the application you must identify your preferred location or office where you wish to intern. You can select up to three (3) preferred locations/offices. If you are only interested or available to work in one location/office, then select only one option and leave the remaining two selections blank. If you receive an offer for your selected preferred work location, but are no longer available to work at that location, the offer may be rescinded before the start of the program.
