Program Costs and Scholarships

Although Te Washington Center charges a program ee and a housingee (see table at right), the more relevant consideration is your netcost o attendance (the total you wi ll owe your institution and/or Te

Washington Center). You may nd that a semester or summer with

WC is comparable in cost to what youd pay or the same term oncampus.

Follow these steps to better understand how much it wil l cost or you totake advantage o Te Washington Center experience:

1. Confrm your institutions fnancial arrangement by speakingwith your campus l iaison and/or by contacting Te Washington

Center. Many aliated institutions ensure that their students do notpay tuition on campus and WC ees, but arrangements vary at eachinstitution.

2. Explore whether your regular fnancial aid package can be appliedtoward WC costs (or adjusted to account or any increased costo attendance) and whether additional support is available at yourcollege or university.

3. Review WC awards listed online or contact us or moreinormation. Approximately 75% o U.S. students receive nancialsupport through a state grant or private scholarship to help osettheir cost o participation. Tere are awards or civic engagement,

proessional achievement, diversity, and membership in honorsprograms or societies, among many others.

4. Apply. Your total cost may be impossible to determine until wellaer you are accepted, and sometimes may even be infuenced by theinternship oer that you select.

Please note, i youre considering the Postgraduate ProessionalDevelopment Program, you wil l not need to consult with yourinstitution and will pay WCs ees directly
