CAPAL Internships and Scholarships

The Conference on Asian Pacific American Leadership (CAPAL) seeks to empower Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) youth by increasing access to public service opportunities and building a strong AANHPI public service pipeline. CAPAL offers three scholarship and internship programs:
1) CAPAL’s Public Service Internship Program places undergraduate and graduate students within the public sector in the Washington, DC area.
2) CAPAL’s Public Service Field Internship Program places undergraduate and graduate students within public sector positions throughout the United States.
3) CAPAL’s Public Service Scholarship Program awards scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students who will be serving in unpaid public service internships in the Washington, DC area.
Successful applicants in each program receive a living stipend.
