The Washington Center 2010 Scholarship Yearbook
Student Quotes“Not only have I learned the business aspect of software development, but I have also gained knowledge of the federal government and professional business practices. This experience is priceless. Everything that I can learn in the classroom doesn’t compare until it is put into use in a situation like the internship that your scholarship has helped me take part in.”
Lindsay Tessmer, SUNY FredoniaInterned at Department of Defense Motorola Foundation Scholar
“When I learned that it would be possible for me to participate in this program with The Washington Center, I had high hopes that it might be feasible to make some contacts with working professionals in my career field and to learn about my chosen field from professors and practitioners of Intelligence while working as an intern. The internship has enabled me to do that and more, as I have made successful contacts with those who would be in a position to meet and evaluate me as a candidate for a position in the Intelligence Community.”
Andrew Rohr, Lynchburg CollegeInterned at the Institute of World PoliticsHSC Foundation Scholar
“One of the most memorable moments was meeting both of my U.S. Senators, Dick Durbin and Roland Burris. To be able to meet with them in such a small group and have my questions answered directly was an immensely gratifying and unique experience. It instilled in me a greater belief in the democratic process and the value of dialogue.”
Marta Escobedo, Saint Xavier UniversityInterned at Council on Hemispheric AffairsVerizon Scholar
“My current internship is with a non-profit organization known as Machik, whose mission is to strengthen communities within the Tibetan Plateau. I have been given the wonderful opportunity of working on projects that deal with education and healthcare for the youth within Tibet. This will hopefully help to inhibit the spread of HIV/AIDS on the Tibetan Plateau. This is such a wonderful project for me because it has further confirmed my interests in the public health sector, and it is very satisfying to know that something I have created will help to educate young girls within Tibet.”
Sharifa Yamba, California University of Pennsylvania Interned at Machik, Ford Motor Company Global Scholar
“I’ve learned so much more about myself and my strengths and weaknesses, and areas I can continue to work on and develop. I have learned what is expected of one in the professional workplace, both the standard of work and the standard of behavior, and I have learned how to communicate in the workplace. I feel that with my greater sense of what professionalism is, the greater sense of self-confidence and independence I’ve gained from living on my own, learning to open up and network, newfound accounting and international business knowledge, and greater appreciation for civic engagement, I will be much more prepared for not only the rest of my college career, but also my career development.”
Evan Higa, University of Hawaii at ManoaInterned at Department of Defense New York Life Foundation Scholar
“My internship program at TWC has really been a one of a kind experience. I learned effective time management, delegation of tasks, professionalism in finance, and proper communication. There were things I have realized that I should have done at my university but missed; through both my internship and other activities and opportunities arranged by TWC, I have been able to fill these gaps and learn things I had not even thought of learning. All of this happened while getting to meet many interesting, nice, and friendly people, some of whom I hope to stay in touch with even as we go our separate ways.” Burmaa Zurgaa, Akita International University, JapanInterned with Inter-American Culture and Development Foundation of the Inter-American Development Bank
Creating opportunity is at the heart of The Washington Center’s educational mission. The breadth of our academic programs, our inclusive recruiting strategies, and the generosity of our donors make us an educational experience available to all.

4 The Washington Center | 2010 Scholarship Yearbook
Dear Friends and Supporters,
At The Washington Center, we believe that it is a fundamental responsibility of each member of society to help nurture, encourage and develop the next generation of leaders. That is why we exist. We are proud to share with you our 2010 Scholarship Yearbook, which highlights all of our partners who share our vision. It is because of the generous support from corporations, foundations, state legislatures, government agencies, alumni, and individuals that we are able to provide financial assistance and opportunities for students to attend our programs.
During this past year, Kayla Bruneau, a student from San Diego State University told us: “Thanks to The Washington Center, I’ve made lifelong connections and now have the professional confidence that I can and will succeed as a public relations practitioner if I continue to work hard.”
With more than 75 percent of The Washington Center’s student body receiving financial support for the program, we would like to thank our friends and contributors who have helped us in our mission and provided students an opportunity to test-drive their careers and link their classroom experience with the reality of the global workplace. We look forward to continuing to provide a transformational experience for students with your support.
Warm regards,
Ambassador Alan J. Blinken Michael B. Smith Chairman President
Letter from Chairman of the Board & President
The Washington Center Promise
The Washington Center was founded on the belief that the right experience cantransform students’ lives—setting them on a course of achievement, leadership, and civic responsibility. That’s why we immerse qualified college students and professionals in our uniquely intense and productive living, working, and learning program.
The Washington Center delivers more than a semester “away,” coveted internships, and academic credit. It provides an integrated experience that transforms theory into practice, ambition into purpose, and potential into achievement—an experience that transforms. Our programs provide access to four potential paths through the world—government, business, not-for-profit, and international. Each is a distinct experience of matched internships, complementary coursework, and focused relationship building.
We are the largest academic internship program in the country, bringing together civic and business leaders, hundreds of colleges and universities, scores of public and private internship sites, 44,000 alumni, and generous donors.
Together we strive to make The Washington Center accessible to students with diverse backgrounds who will make the most of the opportunity. The Washington Center enables students and professionals to transform their careers and lives through a unique experience; colleges and universities to extend their reach, programmatically and geographically; organizations to connect with a new generation of talent; and its many donors and alumni to support and shape the next generation of leaders.
Funded Programs
Major, multi-year partnership efforts have helped us to develop distinct discipline-based funded programs such as the Ford Motor Company Global Scholars Program–an internship focused on exploring the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals; and the U.S.-China Bilateral Trade Internship Program, funded by The Boeing Company.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice provided keynote remarks for the 2010 Prudential Spirit of Community celebration held at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, in Washington, D.C. on May 1, 2010. Spring semester TWC Prudential Fellows from Taiwan were among those who met with Secretary Rice.

U.S.-China Bilateral Trade Internship Program
In January 2007, The Washington Center received a generous gift from The Boeing Company to create the U.S.-China Bilateral Trade Internship Program. The mission of the program is to promote among students from China and the United States increased understanding of the bilateral relationship between the two countries while obtaining practical skills to become engaged citizens and leaders in their communities.
The program has hosted 60 students over a three year period: 20 students participated in the spring 2008, 20 in spring 2009, and 20 more students in the spring 2010 semester. Ten Chinese applicants from Peking, Tsinghua and Fudan universities as well as ten applicants from University of Washington, California State University and Washington University, were selected to participate in program’s third year in spring 2010.
Participants enrolled in the U.S.-China Bilateral Trade Program experience a rich mix of activities during the semester. These include a full-time internship, four days per week, in the public, private, and non-profit sectors in Washington, D.C.; weekly classes focusing on the U.S.-China bilateral agenda, speakers, panels, site visits, forums and trade simulations.

Ford Motor Company Global Scholars Program
In 2008, The Washington Center received a grant from Ford Motor Company to create The Ford Motor Company Global Scholars Program. The mission of the program is to develop future global leaders in the area of international community development by equipping participants with in-depth knowledge of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); providing them with resources, skills, mentorship and training to promote their professional success in their careers; and by learning ways in which they can contribute to the welfare of their communities.
The Washington Center welcomed its third class of Ford Motor Company Global Scholars during the fall 2010 semester. These students came to Washington, D.C. to participate in the program from Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa, Vietnam, and the United States.
Since 2008, more than 70 students from around the world have participated in the Ford Motor Company Global Scholars Program, including the fall semester 2010 participants.

Prudential Foundation Global Citizens Program
Prudential Financial has been a generous partner to The Washington Center since 1982. In June 2009, The Prudential Foundation provided $1,000,000 to The Washington Center to establish the Prudential Foundation Global Citizens Program. This program provides international undergraduate or graduate students from India, Japan, Republic of Korea, and Taiwan the opportunity to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. in a program that exposes them to the role the U.S. government plays in the context of an increasingly global, interdependent world.
The Prudential Foundation Global Citizens Program sponsors 75 students in the course of three spring semesters, 2010, 2011, and 2012. The Washington Center welcomed its first class of 24 students to the program during the spring 2010 semester.

HSC Foundation Scholarships for Students with Disabilities
The Washington Center’s partnership with The HSC Foundation began in 2007 through a challenge grant to help increase participation from students with disabilities in our internship programs. Over the past few years, The Washington Center has successfully leveraged this grant to raise scholarship support for students with disabilities from additional donors. The Washington Center is proud to name some of our ADA compliant apartments in honor of The HSC Foundation’s further commitment to youth with disabilities. In 2010, The HSC Foundation again provided scholarship support to The Washington Center.

State Partnerships
Last year, The Washington Center partnered with 11 states to provide generous financial aid for students. These efforts promote young talent and will serve to develop state workforces within the coming years.
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) meets with Washington Center interns from Ohio. Students are given the opportunity to discuss policy issues with members of their state’s congressional delegation through The Washington Center’s Public Policy Dialogues on Capitol Hill Program.
46 The Washington Center | 2010 Scholarship Yearbook
State Scholarship AwardsThe State Relations Initiative has been a cornerstone of The Washington Center’s scholarship efforts since 1995. More than twenty state initiatives have been launched over the last 15 years, allowing hundreds of college and university students to complete internships through the aid of scholarships funded by their state governments. These initiatives have been successful in securing between $2 and $3 million per year in scholarship funding for students, many of whom come from diverse or economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Washington Center works alongside state governments to raise various amounts for each student. Typically, state-funded scholarships range from $3,000 to $6,000 and can be available for students attending both public and private universities.
State partnerships play a critical role in The Washington Center’s enrollment, with approximately 40 to 50 percent of domestic enrollment coming from funded states.

Federal Partnerships
Studies show that internships provide the best return on investment for recruiting new talent to an organization. Intern recruits tend to stay with their employers longer, minimizing the impact of turnover on the organization. For the last eight years, The Washington Center partnered with numerous federal agencies to address the workforce planning challenges the federal government faces.
The Washington Center has been a link for the federal government to a diverse, highly talented pool of candidates who are interested in becoming the next generation of public servants. In fact, 20-25% of Washington Center students interning in federal agencies are converted to full-time employment while the average conversion rate in the federal government is 6%.
Our internship programs are a distinctive combination of workforce training, experiential education, and leadership development designed specifically for the federal agencies to play a critical role in attracting a highly qualified and diverse future workforce. As a result, participants gain relevant “real world” work experience, make contacts critical to developing their own professional network, and learn to tie classroom learning with their future career. Students also gain a better understanding and greater appreciation for the federal government by exploring future career opportunities through these tailored internship programs.
Currently, The Washington Center partners with many federal agencies including:Bureau of Indian Affairs
Environmental Protection Agency
Human and Health Services
Internal Revenue Service
U.S. Coast Guard
U.S. Department of Agriculture
U.S. Department of Commerce
U.S. Department of Defense

CanadaIn 2010, 48 students from Canada participated in The Washington Center programs. Most of these students were able to take part in the experience thanks to the financial assistance of their provincial governments. These provinces include Alberta, Quebec and New Brunswick. Students from the University of Ottawa received a substantial scholarship from their university.
The participants came from the following universities:
Alberta: University of Alberta, University of Calgary, Grand MacEwan University, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Concordia University College
New Brunswick: University of New Brunswick Saint John and Fredericton campuses
Québec: Université du Québec à Montréal, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, Université de Sherbrooke, HEC Montréal
Ontario: Queen’s University, Université d’Ottawa, Carleton University, York University
British Columbia: University of Victoria
MexicoIn 2010, 74 students from Mexico participated in The Washington Center’s Governors Program, including students, public servants and young professionals from Veracruz, Queretaro, Chiapas, and Campeche. The participation of all these students was made possible with funding from their respective state governors. During the semester, the students developed a project that impacts and improves the well-being of their regions by attracting investment or by representing a regional product or an industry. Upon the students return to Mexico, these projects are presented to their state governor and some of them are implemented.
In the same year, The Washington Center organized two academic seminars, one for high-ranking officials coming from the Mexican Federal Supreme Court of Elections sponsored by the United Nations Program for Development, and another seminar for cabinet members sponsored by the Governor of the State of Chiapas.
International Partnerships
The Washington Center began developing partnerships with the international higher education community and government sectors in 1999, starting with the State of Tabasco in Mexico. Students from abroad now make up more than 15 percent of our student body. These institutions provide financial support to their students.
The Washington Center | 2010 Scholarship Yearbook 53
BelgiumThe Flemish Minister for Education, Youth, Equal Opportunities and Brussels Affairs and The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars signed a memorandum of understanding under the leadership of Flemish Minister, The Honorable Pascal Smet, to provide scholarship opportunities for eligible students from the region of Flanders to participate in TWC’s programs.
The Minister provided 75,000 Euros in funding support for ten (10) € 7500 scholarships in the fall 2010 and spring 2011 for students from the region of Flanders. Affiliation agreements with Universiteit Gent, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Universiteit Antwerpen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Universiteit Hasselt have been signed to allow students from these universities to participate in this initiative. The Washington Center is also in conversations with local and multinational companies with presence in Belgium to obtain additional funds to match the government support for the program. The firm Ackermans & Van Haaren committed € 5,000 for three years and two board members, former U.S. Ambassador to Belgium, The Honorable Alan Blinken (Chairman of the Board) and Mr. Leonard Schrank have contributed funding for additional scholarship support.
This collaboration not only promotes greater mutual understanding between Belgium and the United States, but it also contributes to the cultural enrichment of young people ensuring the development of strong ties between Flemish students and their American and international counterparts. In the fall 2010 seven students came with sponsorship from the Flemish Ministry of Education and one with a private scholarship from the company Ackermans and Van Haaren.

The Washington Center’s Honor Roll of Donors
Public and private contributions and grants make up approximately 35 percent of the organization’s budget. A handful of The Washington Center’s funding relationships span more than two decades; others are brand new. These relationships vary in depth, breadth and reach. Leveraging networks, resources, and opportunities grows the impact of these gifts substantially. At the center of these collaborative partnerships is a unanimous purpose: preparing college students and young professionals for leadership, professional achievement, and civic engagement.
