Program Costs & Scholarships
: Intern Abroad
Although The Washington Center charges a program fee and a housing fee for the D.C.-London Program, the more relevant consideration is your “net” cost of attendance (the total you will owe your institution and/or TWC). You may find that a semester or summer abroad through TWC is comparable in cost to what you’d pay for the same term on campus. To get a better idea of what you might pay, please feel free to download our London budgets or complete our Financial Aid Inquiry Form.
Follow these steps to better understand how much it will cost for you to take advantage of The Washington Center experience:
- Confirm your institution’s financial arrangement by speaking with your campus liaison and/or by contacting TWC. Many affiliated institutions ensure that their students do not pay tuition on campus and TWC fees, but arrangements vary at each institution.
- Explore whether your regular financial aid package can be applied toward TWC costs (or adjusted to account for any increased cost of attendance) and whether additional support is available at your college or university.
- Review TWC awards listed online or contact us for more information. Many U.S. students receive financial support through a state grant or private scholarship to help offset their cost of participation. There are awards for civic engagement, professional achievement, diversity, and membership in honors programs or societies, among many others. Unfortunately, most state-based TWC scholarships cannot be applied to the cost of this intern abroad opportunity.
- Apply. Your total cost may be impossible to determine until well after you are accepted.
