About the HACU National Internship Program 

Since 1992, HNIP has placed nearly 7,000 college students in rewarding and challenging internships matching their majors and career goals.  Participating agencies and corporations hope to increase diversity in their workforce by providing these internships to high-achieving Hispanic students.  This creates a pipeline of future employees who have had positive, meaningful work experience.  

The HACU National Internship Program (HNIP) recruits college students for paid summer and semester-long internships at federal agencies and private corporations in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country. These ten and fifteen-week internship programs give college students direct experience in a myriad of careers in the federal and corporate sectors.

During 2007, HNIP celebrated 15 years of "Opening Doors of Opportunity." We are very proud of this, especially for a program that started with only 24 interns and one federal agency in 1992.  Now, the program provides over 600 internship opportunities annually with nearly 40 federal agencies and major corporations.  Become part of the HACU family.  Apply today!
