NFRW Dorothy Andrews Kabis Internship
This Memorial Internship Program is named after former National Federation of Republican Women President Dorothy Andrews Kabis, who served from 1963-1967 and was later appointed Treasurer of the United States by President Richard Nixon. Each year, the program offers three young women the opportunity to spend six weeks in our nation’s capitol working in the headquarters of the country’s foremost women’s partisan political organization.
Applicants must be U.S. Citizens in their junior year of college or college students age 21 and over, having completed high school but not yet graduated from college. Applicants should have a general knowledge of government and a keen interest in politics, including campaign experience and clerical office skills adaptable to a busy office.
The internship provides housing in the D.C. metropolitan area and round trip airfare. A small monetary allowance is given.
A complete application must include the following:
♦ Official application form, sections A-F fully completed
♦ Most recent college transcript
♦ One-page typed essay stating your interest in the Kabis Internship
♦ One-page typed description of a particular political, extracurricular, or community activity that you have been involved in, including an account of your personal contribution to the activity

ONLY COMPLETED APPLICATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED
TFRW Club Presidents: It is an honor to have a candidate you have nominated be chosen. A suggestion to reach potential candidates would be to query your membership for children or grandchildren that are attending college, placing the information in the hands of your local College Republicans or place the information on bulletin boards at your local college campuses.
If a student from your hometown is attending an out-of-town University, send them an application.
Application forms can be downloaded from www.tfrw.org. Mail all completed applications to Debra Hadfield, TFRW/NFRW Scholarships and Internships Chairman, postmarked no later than February 20, 2008.
