Cost and Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance Policy

Financial assistance from The Washington Center is awarded independently from admission and is not need-based. It includes, but is not limited to, any amounts provided by the internship placement directly to the student or to The Washington Center.  Financial assistance is generally not available to interns enrolled in our Postgraduate Professional Development program.

In order to receive financial assistance from The Washington Center, you must:

• Live in Washington Center-provided housing unless you are receiving scholarships through the Federal Government Initiative
  
  
• Successfully complete your Washington Center program (all work must be awarded a grade of C or higher).
  

If you fail to meet these requirements, all financial assistance monies must be returned to The Washington Center, and your account will be adjusted accordingly.

Some assistance (including Washington Center matches of state scholarships) must be applied toward our housing fees. Such awards are not cumulative. The student receives only the largest such award for which he or she is eligible. Placement-provided assistance, for example, is first used to cover any housing assistance otherwise provided by The Washington Center, and then to cover any balance remaining on the student's bill.

If placement-provided assistance covers the full cost of a student's program and housing and provides a weekly stipend and/or travel allowance, the student will not be eligible for additional Washington Center scholarships or state scholarships.
