The FBI is now accepting applications for its Summer 2027 Honors Internship Program, a paid 10-week opportunity that places undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students inside FBI field offices and headquarters.
The full-time internship will run from June 1, 2027, through August 6, 2027. Selected interns will be assigned to FBI field offices, headquarters divisions in Washington, D.C., or one of the Bureau’s satellite divisions outside the capital. Applicants may select up to three preferred locations during the application process.
The Honors Internship Program is designed to give students hands-on exposure to the Bureau’s mission, allowing them to contribute to real projects while working alongside professionals in national security, intelligence, and law enforcement. Interns who receive favorable evaluations may continue working part-time — up to 16 hours per month — during the fall and spring semesters.
The program also serves as a pipeline for entry-level positions after graduation, offering participants a structured introduction to FBI career paths.
