We recognize that the costs of living in Washington are higher than some other metropolitan areas, so we offer one work-study position and provide scholarships based on merit and need.  Those who are eligible for and would like to be considered for these funding opportunities need to indicate so in the Financial Assistance section of the Maxwell in Washington application. 

This is a federal work-study position, and thus open to US citizens who qualify for this type of federal student aid. The Program Associate is usually based at CSIS, one day a week, and helps our Program Coordinators keep our program running. There are a variety of administrative things to ensure an effective program, and you would play a central part. The associate will assist in maintaining the website, keeping track of our internship contacts, our database, and communications with current and prospective semester participants.

You must have available work-study hours in order to accept this position.

All students who indicate financial need on their application will be considered for the Michael D. Schneider Scholarships.  These scholarships vary in amount from $500 to $1500 and are awarded based on academic merit and financial need.  They carry the name of former DC Director Michael Schneider for his long service to Maxwell-in-Washington, his dedication, and commitment to experiential education.

For those of you who will be pursuing internships in the summer, the following are a few funding opportunities that you should investigate.

The Mark and Pearle Clements Internship Awards are intended to enable Syracuse University students to undertake unique summer internships that they have developed on their own initiative and that would not be possible to undertake without financial help. The objective is that students create their own internship, working under the guidance and supervision of an experienced professional who can help them explore opportunities that link theory with practice in their fields of career interest. You do not need to have secured an internship in order to apply. For more information visit the Mark and Pearle Clements Internship Award - 'Cuse Works – Syracuse University website.
