Who can apply?
- EPA says any student enrolled at least half time at an accredited college or university may apply for paid Pathways internship positions.
- This directory covers college students; a specific USAJOBS announcement can set degree, coursework, citizenship, location, schedule, and document requirements.
- EPA also lists different student-trainee, volunteer, and recent-graduate routes. Read the hiring path instead of assuming their rules are interchangeable.
The broad half-time enrollment rule does not override additional requirements in an individual federal announcement.
Dates, pay & program timing
EPA describes summer, semester, one-year, and multi-year opportunities, generally at GS-02 through GS-07. Openings and deadlines are posted through the linked federal job searches.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Match your experience to the actual occupation—laboratory work, engineering, GIS, economics, data, policy, communications, or administration.
Federal resumes can require more detail than a campus resume. Follow the current announcement's instructions instead of forcing a one-page format.
