A Pathways Fact Sheet is attached for potential applicants’ and your information. Pathways Interns need to complete 640 hours of work while they are enrolled as a student. They will need to be in the natural resources degree or engineering degree “path.” They are paid for the hours they work starting at the GS-3 level which is ~$12.50/hour.
