CFGU/TWC Internship Initiative for Muslim-American Students Muslim American students are eligible to be considered for partial program/housing scholarships during the summer term through a partnership established between TWC and the Center for Global Understanding (CFGU). Students are selected by CFGU and also participate in special supplemental programming (called the CFGU Public Affairs Series) arranged by the organization throughout the summer. Students may visit the CFGU website for additional information about the programming and to read profiles of past participants. Interested applicants should use TWC’s online application and specify interest in the initiative on the application. Selected students will receive a minimum of $1,000 from CFGU and $1,000 from TWC for a total of $2,000 toward the invoice for program and housing fees. Many past students have received larger awards (from states, TWC, and other private sources). Undergraduate and postgraduate students are equally encouraged to apply, but only U.S. citizens are eligible to receive CFGU funds. Some placement restrictions are involved.
