  • participate in workshops on career readiness skills, first-gen identity, and financial wellbeing.
  • participate in paid summer career-connected experience to apply learned digital skills to real-world work experience.

  • explore your career path and build up your resume.
  • learn about UW Bothell resources to support your academic and personal wellbeing.
  • build a social network with peers, staff, and faculty.
  • celebrate and reflect upon your learning.
  • present your work at a fall showcase

The Digital Scholars Program plans to accept 20 students each year. Applications are due in early Winter Quarter (January or February), and program takes place the following Spring, Summer, and Fall quarters. Compensation is done as a student scholarship/stipend if there is room within their financial aid package or as a student employee. Depending on the case, there may be other options for compensation.

During the internship, which takes place in winter quarter, interns work for members of the Washington State House of Representatives or Senate while earning academic credit from their schools. Interns work alongside legislative staff to learn first-hand about public policy, build professional skills, and serve the citizens of Washington State. They also hire for policy/fiscal committee positions, communication, and policy research roles.

Interns are placed with legislators’ offices and work in Olympia as full-time staff while the Legislature is in session (January through March or April every year). In addition to their office work, interns work on special projects, take part in a hands-on academic program including training in legislative ethics, writing and research, a budget exercise, mock committee hearings and floor debate, and a job shadow at a state agency.
