The costs are the same as for The Capital Experience . As for credit, the most important aspect is to check carefully on campus with your faculty adviser or off-campus study office to make sure all arrangements have been made for academic credit for participation in this program. Students may participate in this program on a non-credit basis. The camaraderie of living with your fellow interns is enhanced by the ability to share your experiences. The housing is affordable, in a safe, secure area and comes complete with a large number of free facilities.
Scholarships are available.
All scholarships are currently need-based. The formal Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars internship program will be offered every Fall and Spring semester beginning in 1998. However, during the summer there is a good possibility for students to gain placements in one of these organizations, although students will not have special classes or activities. All admissions decisions will be made after the deadlines. Nevertheless, we encourage students to apply early to ensure that the selection board will have access to all materials in a timely manner.
