*Priority Deadline Advantages

For those students who are interested, the priority deadline offers some advantages over waiting until the final deadline to apply:

  • By applying early, you increase your chances of securing a spot in the program before it reaches capacity. 
  • Applying early allows you to be considered for scholarships and financial aid opportunities that may have limited availability. 
  • Applying early gives you more time to plan and prepare for your participation in the Washington Program. You can align your academic and personal schedules accordingly and make the most out of this unique experience.
  • By joining the Washington Program early, you gain access to unique resources and support for applying to internships with early deadlines, such as those at high-level government organizations.
