Partnerships

Although the Washington Internship Institute accepts students from unaffiliated schools, we encourage your campus to affiliate with us by completing a Campus Information Form, outlining the working relationship between the Washington Internship Institute and your campus.

There is no partnership fee.

Partnering with the Washington Internship Institute provides two major benefits:

1. The partnership establishes the framework for your students’ participation in our program, creating consistency and preventing your campus from reinventing the wheel each time a student participates in the program.

2. The partnership permits your campus to publicize the Washington Internship Institute experience as its own internship program in Washington, DC.

We value the opportunity to be your school’s program in the nation’s capital.
