College to Congress is a bipartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization providing exceptionally bright students from diverse economic backgrounds the access and means to intern on Capitol Hill. This program was created as a direct response to the growing gap of income levels represented in Congress. Through our flagship internship program, College to Congress has provided over $380k in scholarships and to help jumpstart the congressional careers of 37 high-achieving, low-income students from around the country. In 2020, College to Congress launched C2C-U to expand our reach to students across the country who are passionate about public service.
