How to Apply?

The Center for Global Understanding (CFGU) has partnered with The Washington Center (TWC) to administer our Washington D.C. internship program. There will be two stages to the application process for students who are interested in receiving the CFGU scholarship, which will satisfy both the TWC and CFGU application requirements.

CFGU has developed a separate more intimate program for underrepresented minorities, particularly Muslim students. This program includes a public affairs series bringing in well represented leaders from government agencies, private organizations, NGOs, non-profit & international organizations to meet with CFGU students. This special access is provided to students who are awarded the CFGU scholarship. To qualify, you must successfully complete these two phases:

Phase 1

Please complete the application, which provides detailed step-by-step guidance. This will take you to The Washington Center's Student Portal to apply online.
