We understand that although our program is the most affordable
internship program in DC, the expenses may be difficult to meet.
We encourage you to ask your home institution about financial
aid opportunities and take advantage of WII’s scholarship
opportunities.
Federal Financial Aid
Contact your school’s financial aid office to determine
how your financial aid may be applicable towards paying your WII
tuition, provided you are registered to receive course credit
from your home institution.
Your School
Inquire about available funding options for off-campus programs.
Ask your faculty advisor about departmental scholarships.
ACHS/WII Scholarships -- NEW!
Students who are inducted members of any of the 70 Association
of College Honor Societies (ACHS) member societies will receive
a $500 merit-based scholarship. To obtain the scholarship:
1) |
Check the list of ACHS member societies at
www.achsnatl.org to find out if you are eligible for the
scholarship. |
2) |
Apply and be accepted to the Capital Experience, Embassy
Scholars, or Building Democracy program. |
3) |
Obtain the signature of your on-campus honor society advisor
on the Intern Profile. WII will then verify your membership
with the national office of the honor society. Please note
these two steps must be successfully completed prior to the
beginning of your semester in DC in order for you to receive
an ACHS / WII scholarship. |
4) |
Apply the $500 scholarship to WII's tuition or housing fees.
The ACHS/WII scholarship can be combined with other WII scholarships
as long as the cumulative award does not exceed WII's tuition.

WII Scholarships
WII awards need-based scholarships ranging from $200 to full
tuition. Scholarship determinations are based on the Student Aid
Reports (SARs) that students submit with their applications. Preference
is given to students who are enrolled in a college or university
at the time of their internship with WII.
WII also awards a limited number of merit-based scholarships to
Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars. All participants in the Embassy
and Diplomatic Scholars program are automatically considered for
the scholarships.
