The page program is only for juniors in high school. Rising sophomores or seniors may apply for the summer session, but Fall and Spring sessions are only for juniors in high school. Pages must be citizens of the United States or subject to agreements of the Department of State, and must have a social security number. Certification of immunization and general health assessment completed by a licensed physician are required. Pages are required to be covered by health insurance; if they do not have coverage, they must enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

Senate pages must be sponsored by a Senator. There are thirty page positions in the United States Senate which serve its one hundred members, therefore not all of the Senators are able to appoint pages. Due to the limited number of positions available and the large pool of interested students, competition to become a page is keen and, unfortunately, not all of those students who desire a position can be accommodated.

All applicants are requested to submit a cover letter expressing their interest in being a Senate page, a resume, and an official transcript.

If you are selected to serve as a page, you will be furnished with further information and requirements of the program.

Note: All interested applicants should submit the required materials to page_program@bennet.senate.gov by the corresponding session due date.

• For the Fall 2024 session: Applications are due by Monday, May 20, 2024.

Note: All interested applicants should submit required materials to page_program@bennet.senate.gov by the corresponding session due date.

Pages attend classes in the early morning at the United States Senate Page School, a program fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. 

Pages receive a stipend paid on the basis of an annual salary of $37,238. The cost of living in Daniel Webster Hall is $780 per month, plus a refundable $250 deposit. Breakfast and dinner are provided for the pages. These costs are automatically deducted from the page’s stipend.

During the fall and spring sessions, pages are required to live in the Daniel Webster Senate Page Residence. The cost of living in Daniel Webster Hall is $780 per month, plus a refundable $250 deposit. Breakfast and dinner are provided for the pages. The cost of rent and food is automatically deducted from the page’s stipend. 

Webster Hall is located on Capitol Hill. Staff includes four proctors, who reside within the building, and two day-staff members. Two floors encompass the living quarters, one of which is designated for young women, the other for young men. Each floor has a community day room for social activity.

Pages must share rooms with each other. Each room is designed for four to six occupants and is furnished with twin size bunk or loft style beds, desks, chairs, and bureaus. Each room has closet space, a private bath, and a telephone, which is shared by the pages. Laundry facilities are provided within the building.

United 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.

Senate page dress requirements for men are navy blue pants, white long-sleeve shirt, dark blue tie, and black shoes and socks. Women are required to wear navy blue slacks, white long-sleeve blouses, dark blue tie, black shoes, and dark socks or nylons. Pages are expected to fulfill their own dress requirements.
