Financial Aid
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
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 Go Green 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.
