Step 1 : Confirm Eligibility
Basic Requirements:
- Have a GPA of 2.75 or higher
- Be a second-semester sophomore or higher
|
- Receive credit from your college or university for participating in our program
- Have liaison/campus sponsor approval
|
Students interested in the Postgraduate Professional Development Program are welcome to apply to the programs in Sydney. They need to have earned a bachelor’s degree within 18 months of the start of the program, but do not need to earn credit or have liaison/campus sponsor approval.
Step 2 : Complete the Online Application Form
The online application is the only way to apply for the intern abroad programs. Students at the following schools (which typically do not allow the online application) should call 202-238-7978 for further instructions: Albion College, Bridgewater State College, Clark University, Florida State University, Miami University, Montclair State University and Texas Christian University.
Please note the following differences between the intern abroad application and the application for our Washington, D.C. programs:
- The issues essay is NOT required for the intern abroad programs.
- The internship request statement for the intern abroad application is 200 words instead of 100 words.
|
- A cover letter is required for the intern abroad programs.
It should NOT be addressed to The Washington Center as
it will be sent out to prospective internship sites.
|
Step 3 : Send Supporting Documents
As the online application indicates, several documents must be mailed to The Washington Center in order to complete the application process.
These include:
- Official Transcript*
- Basic background check
(contact your local police station)
- Two (2) passport-sized photos* (Please do NOT send a photo copy of your passport)
|
- CAPA Release
(for London and Sydney applicants only – this is a sheet of policies for our partners abroad, found within the online application)
- Two (2) letters of recommendation
(if electronic method is not used)
|
* Students traveling to the UK will need an additional transcript and passport photo for their student visa application.
Students should keep these extra copies until they are provided with details on obtaining the student visa.
