The Presidential Internship Program begins with an orientation that is scheduled for late August 2018. The first day of work will coincide with the first day of classes in early September. Each intern will undergo an evaluation by their supervisor in late December in order to evaluate their work.  

Interns follow the administrative rather than the academic schedule. The work week is Sunday through Thursday, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Some positions require other schedules or overtime and weekend work during times of heavy activity. 

Program benefits include a monthly living stipend, furnished faculty housing, private Arabic tutoring, access to AUC faculty and staff programs, community-based personal development, subsidized trips around Cairo and Egypt, and more.
