The Rockefeller Center can help you find, fund, and prepare for a leave-term internship experience. We have lists of past student interns that are an excellent source for ideas about what internship possibilities are available in non-profit or governmental organizations at the local, state, national and international levels. Stop by the Rocky Student Programs area on the first floor of the Center and visit us for more information. Read about our Current Interns and see the list of Past Interns.
Through the generous support of our donors, the Rockefeller Center's internship program includes a number of named internships. Learn more about the Dartmouth Classes and Individual Donors who have contributed funding for internships.
Want to be successful at your internship? Consider the popular Civic Skills Training Program that the Rockefeller Center offers three times a year (in March, June and September). The five-day intensive program takes place in Washington, DC and will help you to gain valuable workplace skills before your first day on the job. A separate application is required as spaces are limited.
NOTE: If you get an error message when you try to download or upload your application it is likely because you have not clicked on the ENROLL button for this organization.
STEP ONE: You will need to self-enroll in the "Rockefeller Center Student Applications" Blackboard organization:
STEP TWO: Once you are enrolled in the organization, you can find "Rockefeller Center Student Applications" listed in under "My Organizations" when you are on the My Blackboard tab.
STEP THREE: Click on"Rockefeller Center Student Applications" and you should find the link for Internships and Civic Skills Training in the menu bar. You can locate and download the application from there.

The entire application, including the faculty recommendation, must arrive at the office of Suzanne Todd (Room 101, Rockefeller Center, Hinman Box 6082) by the correct deadline. Applications are due in the middle of the term prior to the term in which you are applying for an internship. See Rockefeller Center Calendar for specific dates.
The selection process may also include an in-person interview. Applicants will be contacted to schedule these interviews following the initial review of materials by Rockefeller Center staff.
NOTE: The strength of your submitted application materials is essential for funding consideration. If you have questions about the components of your internship application, email Rockefeller Student Programs.
Rockefeller Center Public Policy Interns are eligible for up to $4,000 in funding, depending on availability of funds. Awards may be offered for less than the original amount requested by the student. These awards will be considered taxable income by the Internal Revenue Service, and we strongly encourage our students to refer to IRS Publication 970 for detailed information on taxes levied on awards, available on the IRS web site. Awards paid to U.S. resident aliens will be subject to 14% federal tax withholding at the time of payment.
Grant awards are determined based on the written application materials submitted, as well as an interview (if invited). Please keep in mind that if your proposal is accepted by more than one department or program, you will be required to accept only one grant.
