Application Instructions
Please review WII’s eligibility requirements before starting your application.
Go to the student log-in page of WII Link and click "Apply Online"
Read the online application instructions and complete all fields.
After submitting the application, you will receive an automated email to verify your email address. Then you will receive an email that acknowledges receipt of your online application and provides instructions for logging in to WII Link. (If you don't receive an email immediately, please check your spam.)
Upload your resume and an unofficial transcript of all college work. (Log into WII Link, click Pathways, select the Application Process Checklist, and click Start. Go back to the home page and click Upload Documents.)
Pay the $50 non-refundable application fee if you receive an invoice from WII. (Students from partner institutions do not pay the application fee for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. Check if your school is a partner here)
Review and e-sign a Recent Graduate Acknowledgement Form (recent grads only).
Once all application materials are received (and your school has approved your application, if needed), we will review your application and notify you of our decision via email within one week.
We encourage you to apply prior to the deadline to allow for the greatest range of internship options. Applying early is essential if you are interested in high-profile organizations, if you are a journalism student, or if you want to intern in certain government agencies. Visit our Dates & Deadlines page to learn about the best time to apply, or contact us if you have any questions.
