The Washington Center (TWC) runs a full-time internship program in Washington, D.C. that is open to all UW students and provides comprehensive service, including internship placement and housing. Hundreds of UW students have participated in this program since UW's affiliation in 1977, and many have made connections that led to careers.
At the informational meetings, a Washington Center representative and I will discuss the program, scholarships and the application process.
Through autumn 2011 the quarterly program cost is $5,650 and the housing cost is $3,660. In addition, students pay UW registration, transportation, and personal expenses. Students may use financial aid for this program, UW tuition is charged at a reduced rate, and students may apply for scholarships (many UW students receive scholarships of $1000-$3000).
