The Washington Center provides financial aid to approximately 75% of its students every year. Many of these students receive scholarship support through generous gifts from The Washington Center’s corporate, foundation, and individual donors.

Scholarship and program support may be annual or endowed, restricted or unrestricted, and need-based or merit-based. The Washington Center has traditionally received support for the following types of scholarships and programs:

Full Scholarships

It is possible for your organization to arrange for perpetual support for The Washington Center through an endowment gift. For gifts of $25,000 or more, a donor may choose to permanently restrict the funds towards The Washington Center’s endowment. The donated fund is permanently named by the donor.

Endowed funds are responsibly invested and the interest earned is used for The Washington Center’s charitable educational purposes. Alternatively, the donor may restrict the resulting interest to a specific use, such as a scholarship fund.

Those serving as liaisons play an essential role in attracting students to The Washington Center’s programs, endorsing participants on behalf of their institutions, and ensuring that communications between TWC and each of its partner colleges and universities run smoothly.
