The U.S. Department of State's Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS<http://www.state.gov/vsfs/>) eInternship program is now open.
VSFS is a digital internship for U.S. citizen college students, full or part-time, online or traditional.  There are over 330 projects with 15 U.S. Government agencies: http://www.state.gov/vsfs/243849.htm

You are receiving this email to encourage you to direct your students to the Financial Literacy opportunity within the U.S. Department of Education, Federal Student Aid as well as other position within Federal Student Aid.
A brief description of the Financial Literacy project:
Research current practices that improve the financial capability of students enrolled in college and the tools and resources to help with related financial decisions such as financing school, budgeting, money management, and loan repayment. Assemble information related to current practices at institutes of higher education.  Present findings to the Financial Literacy and Education Commission and prepare other collateral to demonstrate efforts by U.S. Department of Education to help student make smart financial choices when considering higher education.

Students can apply for their top three projects on USAJobs<https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/407432100> between July 2 - 22 (applicants should check out the project offerings on http://www.state.gov/vsfs/243849.htm first).  Last year, 610 students were chosen and this year even more positions are available.  eInterns make a real difference.  They do real work and are mentored by US Government employees who value their contribution.

Selected eInterns work 10 hours per week from September 2015 through May 2016.  Some of the other projects include: diplomacy, development, space, journalism, trade, environment, health, agriculture, technology, and housing. The participating agencies are:

*         National Aeronautics and Space Administration
*         National Institute of Standards and Technology
*         National Institutes of Health
*         National Weather Service
*         Peace Corps
*         The Smithsonian Institution

A resume, transcript, and statement of interest are required as part of the application process.  Interviews may be conducted in August.  eInternships are unpaid and do not require a security clearance or travel.
