ASSEMBLY EXTENDS APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Washington, DC – The Armenian Assembly announced today that the
application deadline for the 2005 Terjenian-Thomas Assembly Internship
Program in Washington, DC has been extended to January 30, 2005.
The application deadline for the Assembly’s internship program in
Yerevan remains February 15.
Both programs, offered June through August, provide college students
of Armenian descent the opportunity to intern in those respective
cities while taking part in a full schedule of educational, social and
cultural activities. Students accepted to the Washington program are
typically placed in congressional offices, government agencies,
think-tanks and media outlets based on their educational backgrounds
and work experience. Interns are also given the opportunity to meet
with Members of Congress, policy makers and noted academicians through
the popular Capitol Ideas and Lecture Series programs.
Now entering its sixth year, the Assembly’s intern program in Armenia
offers students the unique opportunity to live and work in one of the
most historically and culturally rich countries in the world. Over
the course of eight-weeks, students will work in Armenian government
agencies, meet with Armenia and Karabakh officials and tour historical
sites in and around Armenia.
Partial and full housing scholarships are available to qualified
students on a competitive basis. Internship applications are
available on the Assembly’s Web site at
For more information on the internship programs or assistance with the
application process, please contact Internship Program Manager Alex
Karapetian in Washington at (202) 393-3434, ext. 245 or via email at

The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based
nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness
of Armenian issues. It is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership
organization.
