Eligibility Requirements

Summer applicants must attend one of WII’s partner schools. Limited space available!

  • At least rising junior status at an accredited undergraduate college or university in the United States when the program begins.

    • Recent graduates (from an undergraduate program) are eligible for our program up to a year after graduation. You must begin the program within that year. Because you are no longer a student, you will not earn credit for our program or be able to use financial aid or be eligible to apply for WII’s scholarships.

      The arrangements for recent graduates are slightly different:

      • Recent graduates pay a non-refundable registration deposit of $1,000 (rather than $500) upon acceptance.

      • Recent graduates may audit the classes on a space-available basis.

      • Recent graduates pay to WII the program fee, housing fee, and housing deposit listed on WII’s website in a series of non-refundable installments prior to the beginning of the program.

    • Graduate students are ineligible.

  • Minimum 2.75 GPA. We may consider you if your GPA is lower.

  • All participants must be at least 18 years old on the starting date of program.

  • Discuss finances and credits with your faculty advisor, Washington Internship Institute campus liaison, and/or your family before applying and receive campus approval. Some campuses have internal applications you must complete before applying to WII. Please check your school’s requirements here. If you do not attend one of WII’s partner schools, review the information about earning credit before you apply.
