The Spanish Consulate in Los Angeles selects one student each semester to support its operational needs. Interns gain hands-on experience in a government setting, network with Spanish government officials, and enjoy the vibrant Los Angeles lifestyle. This internship provides a $12,000 scholarship per semester, covering tuition, fees, housing, utilities, and a stipend for the entire semester. Interns reside in a well-maintained 1920s apartment within walking distance of the Consulate, located in the heart of Hollywood.
