Senate Page Program

About the Senate Page Program

Senator Kim has the honor to sponsor a page to serve in the United States Senate. Since Daniel Webster’s first page appointment in 1829, the U.S. Senate has welcomed young students to the Senate floor to help carry out the day-to-day operations of the Senate. Pages play a vital role in supporting Senators including serving as messengers carrying bills, amendments, or documents, preparing the Senate Chambers for daily business, and assisting in the cloakrooms.

Compensation and Lodging

Senate Pages are paid an annualized salary of $37,238 per year. Fall and Spring Pages must be enrolled in the United States Senate Page School. The academic day schedule is 6:00 AM to 9:45 AM. During the Fall and Spring sessions, Pages are required to live in the Daniel Webster Senate Page Residence located 2 blocks from Capitol Hill. The cost of living in Webster Hall is $780 per month. Breakfast and dinner are provided for the Pages. The cost of rent and food is automatically deducted from the Page’s stipend. 

Pages 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. 

Prospective pages must plan to pay for transportation to and from Washington D.C. at the start and end of the program. Please note: Pages do not earn the entire annual salary as they do not serve for a full year. 

Pages share rooms. 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. 

Webster Hall staff includes four proctors, who reside within the building, and two day-time staff members. Additionally, United States Capitol Police maintain a 24-hour security desk and 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.

There are only thirty Page positions per session, so not all Senators are able to appoint their selected candidate. This includes Senator Kim, who may not have a slot in the Page program every session.
