Who can apply?
- Current undergraduate or graduate students who should have at least one semester left to complete in school.
- Applicants must be able to work 40 hours a week for a 10- to 12-week internship that starts as early as May and ends as late as September.
- Every opening requires a resume, and some roles also require additional documents such as transcripts.
Students in their final semester do not meet the stated rule: you should still have at least one semester left to complete after the internship.
Dates, pay & program timing
Internship openings are posted between September and November for positions starting the following summer, and the Cleveland Fed hires candidates from across the country, not only from the Cleveland area. The selection process may include one or more interviews with human resources and the department hiring team. The internships are paid; the bank describes its salaries as competitive without publishing a figure. The Cleveland Fed has offices in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
The posting window closes in November, before many students start a summer search. Put a reminder in early September to check the openings, and keep a transcript download ready for roles that ask for one. This is our suggestion, not a Cleveland Fed rule.
The internship can run from May into September. Compare your college's fall start date with the role's 10- to 12-week schedule before you apply, and mention any constraint early.
