Please read each of the next questions carefully. They contain the terms of the program and our expectations for our Scholars. It is very important that you fully understand and agree to the following items.
Are you interested in working in a position that requires security clearance (mentally competent, no dishonorable discharges from military service, no unlawful use of a controlled substance, and no past convictions resulting in incarceration)? *
If offered a Fellowship, do you understand that your internship must be at least ten weeks long, and must be full time? Internships with fewer than 40 hours per week are not generally permitted. *
Do you understand that Washington Scholars cannot guarantee that we will be able to place you in an internship in Washington this summer? If, for some reason, you do not receive an internship placement in Washington, your Fellowship offer will be rescinded. *

Please review this question again as it pertains to internship placements. WSFP is NOT responsible for you ultimately obtaining an internship placement. Please apply to internship hosts as soon as possible in your search.
If offered a Fellowship, do you agree to participate in our program even if we are unable to place you in an internship at one of your top choices?

(We appreciate that this requires you to trust us! Some of our most rewarding internships are at organizations you may not have ever heard of!) *
Throughout your Fellowship, WSFP will be receiving regular reports from your internship host. Do you understand that, if your reports are not 100% satisfactory, you may be removed from the program and forfeit your scholarship? *
In many cases, admittance to DC-area events is provided for by WSFP alumni. If accepted as a Fellow, do you agree to attend all mandatory events this spring, unless excused in advance by WSFP management? *
If accepted as a Fellow, do you agree to immediately inform us if you receive any compensation from your internship host? Please note: The amount of compensation will be deducted from your supplemental scholarship, if you have one. In fairness to our Fellows, if you do not accurately report any compensation, you will be removed from the program. *
Do you understand that Washington Scholar Alumni will be using their personal connections to assist you with obtaining an internship and that you must never embarrass them or this organization during the course of your internship? *
Our Fellows have an excellent reputation in DC. Do you understand that, if you are offered a Fellowship, it is necessary to go "above and beyond" and protect and advance that reputation at your internship? *
WSFP's continued success is dependent on the strength of our alumni. Do you understand that all former Fellows are expected to remain active members of our network? *
Do you understand that all Washington Scholar Alumni are requested to begin donating back to Washington Scholars as soon as they graduate via a PayPal monthly subscription. The suggested donation is $10+ per month for students and $25+ per month once you are employed?

(Note: we are a 501(c)(3) public charity) *
