Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Senate Page Program. It is my privilege to occasionally sponsor a Page, and I welcome your interest in this exciting and educational program.\n\nPage Program\n\nLiving away from home and attending school with students from across the country allows Pages to experience a myriad of new ideas, perspectives, and issues. Pages meet some of the Nation\u2019s most prominent leaders and witness firsthand the political debates of the United States Senate, often referred to as the \u201cgreatest deliberative body in the world.\u201d\n\nPage duties consist primarily of delivery of correspondence and legislative material within the Congressional Complex. Other duties include taking messages for Senators, calling them to the phone, preparing the Chamber for Senate sessions, and carrying bills and amendments to the desk. Pages are paid on the basis of an annual salary of $ 38,547.\n\nThere are four established page sessions. The academic year consists of two semesters which run from early September through mid-January and from mid-January through mid-June. The summer program consists of two sessions which are three or four weeks in duration depending on the legislative calendar.\n\nFollowing classes at the Senate Page School, which begin at 6:15 am and extend until 9:45 a.m. or one hour prior to the commencement of the Senate, Pages report for duty to their respective cloakrooms and work until 4:00 p.m. or until the Senate adjourns for the day, whichever is later. The Senate regularly is in session well past traditional business hours.\n\nDaniel Webster Senate Page Residence\n\nPages are required to live in the Daniel Webster Senate Page Residence during the school year. The cost of living in the residence hall is $1,380 per month and includes breakfast and dinner each day. Payment is made through payroll deduction.\n\nWebster Hall is located on Capitol Hill, a quick walk from the Senate Chamber. Staff includes the Page Program Director, Administrative Specialist and proctors. Proctors reside full-time in Webster Hall. The living quarters are divided by sex and Pages must share rooms with each other. Each room is furnished, has closet space, a bathroom, and a telephone. Communal laundry and kitchen facilities are also located in Webster Hall.\n\nUnited States Capitol Police maintain a 24-hour security desk and a provision that requires all individuals to present identification and all visitors and guests to sign in. Capitol Police patrol the area by car and foot regularly throughout the day and night. Webster Hall is monitored by a security alarm system and all emergency and safety measures required by the District of Columbia for community life structures are present and enforced.\n\nPages selected for the Summer Page Program may live with their parents or a relative in the area; alternate housing arrangements must be submitted in writing by a parent or legal guardian for approval by the Page Program Director.\n\nRequirements for Selection\n\nSenate Pages must be sponsored by a Senator\n\nPages must be citizens of the United States or subject to agreements of the Department of State, and must have a social security number\n\nPage eligibility is limited to juniors in high school who will be 16 or 17 years old on or before the date of appointment.\n\nSummer Page eligibility is limited to students who have completed the sophomore year and who will be 16 or 17 years old on or before the date of appointment\n\nPages must verify a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a home school transcript and a certification of immunization to qualify for attendance at the school\n\nA general health assessment completed by a licensed physician is required, in addition to a certification of immunization\n\nPages are required to be covered by health insurance; if not covered, they will be required to enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program\n\nDeadlines\n\nApplication deadlines for the page program are the same each year.\n\nSummer Session \u2013 February 15\n\nFall Session \u2013 June 15\n\nSpring Session \u2013 November 15\n\nApplication", 1, "2026-06-04T06:38:12Z", "2026-06-04T06:39:44Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.paul.senate.gov/the-senate-page-program/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1673499830067158, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
