Support Our Government's Future Leaders

The Washington Academic Internship Program and the Master of Public Administration-DC prepare dedicated, passionate students for public service careers through personal, professional and academic development.

We have more students than ever enrolling in these programs and preparing for internships in D.C., yet the high cost of living and housing is a significant barrier to their success.

Every year, collective support from this crowdfunding campaign helps offset these prohibitive costs for deserving students, ensuring their focus can remain on their transformative D.C. experience, not on their finances.

How you can help today.

Many of us in the public service community are navigating significant challenges. This makes the early support from several generous donors, who have already helped raise 40% of our goal, especially meaningful.

Every donation, no matter the amount, can make a vital difference as we work to surpass our scholarship goals and support the next generation of public servants.
