Description

UMBC partners with The Washington Center, a nonprofit academic internship program to provide students the opportunity to intern in the nation’s capital for a semester or summer. You earn credit from UMBC for your work and internship opportunities are available for students of all majors in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. A sample of past placements include: U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, World Bank, CBS News, Brookings Institute, US Food and Drug Administration, Montgomery County Public Defender’s, Democratic National Committee, Save the Children, Peace Corps, Library of Congress, United Nations Foundation, U.S. Marshals, Pan American Health Organization, Environmental Protection Agency, Torture Abolition and Survivor Support Coalition International, a variety of embassies, congressional offices, law firms, corporations, think tanks, lobbying firms, and many more! This year, the state of Maryland has committed to support UMBC students who are Maryland residents with a substantial scholarship of up to $9,000 ($2,000 is contingent on using TWC housing). If you choose not to use housing during the summer, students still receive $6,200 to cover the program fee as well as an $800 reimbursement check. Students interested in the summer 2015 program are encouraged to apply by the March 18th deadline. Feel free to reach out to info@twc.edu with questions or visit our website at www.twc.edu. Additional scholarships toward housing are also available, you may inquire at financialaid@twc.edu.
