Is the internship paid?
No, this is an unpaid internship. Interns will obtain an educational and professional experience in connection with their education or pursuit of a degree.

Guess Which Presidential Candidate Is Actually Paying Interns

Snip: Except one campaign.

Greer and Grenell—using a paid intern, they carefully point out—reached out to all the campaigns and inquired about the employment and payment of interns. Only Bernie Sanders’ campaign said that it paid interns, to the tune of $10.10 per hour.

Though this is not the $15 dollar minimum wage Sanders wants, it stands out starkly to the other candidates intern pay of … $0. Ten bucks an hour is, as any math-lover will tell you, infinity times more than the others.
