Program Guide Program Costs and Financial Assistance Program Costs and Financial Assistance0

CostsTe Washington Center charges a program ee as wellas a housing ee. Tese costs vary based on the lengthand location o the program. Program and housingees are listed separately, as students are not requiredto stay in Te Washington Centers housing.

Te Washington Centers ull sticker-price costsare listed on page 23 and on our website. However,because you may not be paying tuition to your homeinstitution or your time at Te Washington Center,and may be receiving one or more orms o nancialassistance, the more relevant consideration is your

net cost o attending (the nal amount you wil l oweyour institution and/or Te Washington Center).

Te net cost o attending will dier by studentand in many cases can only be determined oncea student accepts an internship oer. For manystudents, assistance rom all sources will make thecost o participation comparable to a semester oncampus. For others, it may be higher but still withinreach. In almost every case, the net cost represents asound investment or an academic and proessionalexperience that will pay benets or years to come.

Financial AssistanceMany students are able to attend our program becauseo arrangements that Te Washington Center has

with their college or university. Some receive helprom their home institutions in the orm o waivedtuition. Other students pay tuition to their school,

which then orwards all or part toward payment oTe Washington Centers program and/or housingees. When schools assist in these waysandhundreds doyou would not have to pay both yourcampus tuition and Te Washington Centers ull

program and/or housing ees.

Because you remain enrolled at your home institution,in most cases the ederal and state fnancial aid

you receive through your own institution remainsin eect. Please keep this in mind when lookinginto the arrangement your institution has withTe Washington Center. You should seek guidancerom Te Washington Center campus liaison and

proessionals in your college or universitys nancialaid o ce as early as possible. In many cases , these

proessionals can increase the aid package or yourterm in Washington.
