Senate Pages

High school students interested in government can apply to the Senate Page program for a chance to work and study in our nation’s capital. Pages play an important role in the daily operation of the Senate. Their shared responsibilities consist primarily of delivering correspondence and legislative material within the Capitol and Senate office buildings, preparing the Chamber for Senate sessions, and working on the Senate floor where they provide assistance during roll call votes, support senators and staff during debates, and carry bills and amendments to the desk.

Page Program Requirements

Senate Pages must be sponsored by a Senator. Pages must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or subject to agreements of the Department of State, and must have a Social Security number. Semester Page eligibility is limited to high school students with junior standing, who will be 16 or 17 years old on or before the date of appointment. They may not have an anticipated early graduation date in the school year in which they will serve as a Senate Page. Summer Page eligibility is open to rising juniors and rising seniors who will be 16 or 17 years old on or before the date of appointment.

Pages must verify a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA to qualify for school enrollment. Once accepted into the Program, Pages must provide a general health assessment completed by a licensed physician and a certification of immunization. Pages are required to be covered by health insurance. If not covered, they will be required to enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
