Public Policy Internships

Tallahassee Internship Program (TIP)

TIP begins with an intensive course on Florida history, issues and politics before students relocate to Tallahassee for the 60-day legislative session.

Each student is paired with an elected official or organization actively involved in Florida's economic development, growth management, transportation, environmental protection, education, health and social welfare.

Up to ten undergraduate juniors or seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.0 will be selected to participate. All majors and disciplines are welcome.

Students are responsible for tuition and fees, transportation to the state capital and all expenses they incur during the program. A $3,500 scholarship awarded by the College of Arts & Sciences will help defray expenses during the program. Housing and placements are coordinated by the Florida Institute of Government.

USF, TIP alumna is named a rising star in "Florida Politics."
