The Kappa Alpha Order Internship Program was created to provide deserving undergraduates with the desire to become better educated and informed on both the public and private sectors of our national government. In addition, this program will give undergraduates the opportunity to gain professional work experience while living in Washington, D.C., Dallas, Texas, or Atlanta, Georgia. The Program provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to any interested Kappa Alpha Order undergraduate to interact with other interns from across the country.
