Shape U.S. foreign policy. Promote international
trade and development. Translate documents. Plan events for international
visitors. Interns in WII’s Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars
program accomplish these activities and more at embassies, the State
Department, and international nonprofit agencies!
WII offers the Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars internship program
every fall and spring. (If you are interested in a summer internship,
please apply for the Capital Experience. You may still do an internationally-focused
internship through that program.)
The Embassy and Diplomatic Scholars program consists of:
- 4 full days per week at the internship site;
- 2 academic seminars on the other day of the week;
- Convenient, Metro-accessible housing option;
- Orientation; and
- Student activities.
Participating in the program enables you to:
- Gain hands-on experience;
- Investigate career options;
- Enhance your resume;
- Establish a professional network; and
- Begin the transition from campus to career.
In addition, although WII does not award credit, most schools
award a full semester’s credit to their students. Check
with your advisor or contact WII for more information.
WII awards a limited number of merit-based scholarships to Embassy
and Diplomatic Scholars. All participants are automatically considered
for these scholarships.
