Student Quotes
“Not only have I learned the business aspect of software
development, but I have also gained knowledge of the
federal government and professional business practices.
This experience is priceless. Everything that I can learn in
the classroom doesn’t compare until it is put into use in a
situation like the internship that your scholarship has helped
me take part in.”
Lindsay Tessmer, SUNY Fredonia
Interned at Department of Defense
Motorola Foundation Scholar
“When I learned that it would be possible for me to
participate in this program with The Washington Center,
I had high hopes that it might be feasible to make some
contacts with working professionals in my career field
and to learn about my chosen field from professors and
practitioners of Intelligence while working as an intern.
The internship has enabled me to do that and more, as I
have made successful contacts with those who would be
in a position to meet and evaluate me as a candidate for a
position in the Intelligence Community.”
Andrew Rohr, Lynchburg College
Interned at the Institute of World Politics
HSC Foundation Scholar
“One of the most memorable moments was meeting both
of my U.S. Senators, Dick Durbin and Roland Burris. To be
able to meet with them in such a small group and have my
questions answered directly was an immensely gratifying and
unique experience. It instilled in me a greater belief in the
democratic process and the value of dialogue.”
Marta Escobedo, Saint Xavier University
Interned at Council on Hemispheric Affairs
Verizon Scholar
“My current internship is with a non-profit organization
known as Machik, whose mission is to strengthen
communities within the Tibetan Plateau. I have been given
the wonderful opportunity of working on projects that deal
with education and healthcare for the youth within Tibet.
This will hopefully help to inhibit the spread of HIV/AIDS
on the Tibetan Plateau. This is such a wonderful project
for me because it has further confirmed my interests in the
public health sector, and it is very satisfying to know that
something I have created will help to educate young girls
within Tibet.”
Sharifa Yamba, California University of Pennsylvania
Interned at Machik, Ford Motor Company Global Scholar
“I’ve learned so much more about myself and my strengths
and weaknesses, and areas I can continue to work on
and develop. I have learned what is expected of one in
the professional workplace, both the standard of work
and the standard of behavior, and I have learned how to
communicate in the workplace. I feel that with my greater
sense of what professionalism is, the greater sense of selfconfidence and independence I’ve gained from living on
my own, learning to open up and network, newfound
accounting and international business knowledge, and
greater appreciation for civic engagement, I will be much
more prepared for not only the rest of my college career, but
also my career development.”
Evan Higa, University of Hawaii at Manoa
Interned at Department of Defense
New York Life Foundation Scholar
“My internship program at TWC has really been a one of
a kind experience. I learned effective time management,
delegation of tasks, professionalism in finance, and proper
communication. There were things I have realized that I
should have done at my university but missed; through
both my internship and other activities and opportunities
arranged by TWC, I have been able to fill these gaps and
learn things I had not even thought of learning. All of this
happened while getting to meet many interesting, nice, and
friendly people, some of whom I hope to stay in touch with
even as we go our separate ways.”

Creating opportunity is at the heart of
The Washington Center’s educational mission.
The breadth of our academic programs, our inclusive
recruiting strategies, and the generosity of our donors
make us an educational experience available to all.
Letter from Chairman of the Board & President
Dear Friends and Supporters,
At The Washington Center, we believe that it is a fundamental responsibility of each member of society
to help nurture, encourage and develop the next generation of leaders. That is why we exist. We are
proud to share with you our 2010 Scholarship Yearbook, which highlights all of our partners who
share our vision. It is because of the generous support from corporations, foundations, state legislatures,
government agencies, alumni, and individuals that we are able to provide financial assistance and
opportunities for students to attend our programs.
During this past year, Kayla Bruneau, a student from San Diego State University told us: “Thanks to
The Washington Center, I’ve made lifelong connections and now have the professional confidence that I
can and will succeed as a public relations practitioner if I continue to work hard.”
With more than 75 percent of The Washington Center’s student body receiving financial support for
the program, we would like to thank our friends and contributors who have helped us in our mission
and provided students an opportunity to test-drive their careers and link their classroom experience
with the reality of the global workplace. We look forward to continuing to provide a transformational
experience for students with your support.
Warm regards,
Ambassador Alan J. Blinken
Chairman

The Washington Center Promise
The Washington Center was founded on the belief that the right experience can
transform students’ lives—setting them on a course of achievement, leadership,
and civic responsibility. That’s why we immerse qualified college students and
professionals in our uniquely intense and productive living, working, and learning
program.
The Washington Center delivers more than a semester “away,” coveted internships,
and academic credit. It provides an integrated experience that transforms theory
into practice, ambition into purpose, and potential into achievement—an
experience that transforms. Our programs provide access to four potential paths
through the world—government, business, not-for-profit, and international. Each
is a distinct experience of matched internships, complementary coursework, and
focused relationship building.
We are the largest academic internship program in the country, bringing together
civic and business leaders, hundreds of colleges and universities, scores of public and
private internship sites, 44,000 alumni, and generous donors.
Together we strive to make The Washington Center accessible to students with
diverse backgrounds who will make the most of the opportunity. The Washington
Center enables students and professionals to transform their careers and lives
through a unique experience; colleges and universities to extend their reach,
programmatically and geographically; organizations to connect with a new
generation of talent; and its many donors and alumni to support and shape the
next generation of leaders.
Funded
Programs
Major, multi-year partnership efforts have helped us to develop
distinct discipline-based funded programs such as the Ford Motor
Company Global Scholars Program–an internship focused on
exploring the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals;
and the U.S.-China Bilateral Trade Internship Program, funded by
The Boeing Company.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice provided keynote remarks for the 2010
Prudential Spirit of Community celebration held at the Smithsonian’s National Museum
of Natural History, in Washington, D.C. on May 1, 2010. Spring semester TWC
Prudential Fellows from Taiwan were among those who met with Secretary Rice.
U.S.-China Bilateral Trade Internship Program
Participants enrolled in the U.S.China Bilateral Trade Program
experience a rich mix of activities
during the semester. These include
a full-time internship, four days per
week, in the public, private, and
non-profit sectors in Washington,
D.C.; weekly classes focusing on the
U.S.-China bilateral agenda, speakers,
panels, site visits, forums and trade
simulations.
In January 2007, The Washington Center received a generous gift from
The Boeing Company to create the U.S.-China Bilateral Trade Internship
Program. The mission of the program is to promote among students from
China and the United States increased understanding of the bilateral
relationship between the two countries while obtaining practical skills to
become engaged citizens and leaders in their communities.
The program has hosted 60 students over a three year period: 20 students
participated in the spring 2008, 20 in spring 2009, and 20 more students in
the spring 2010 semester. Ten Chinese applicants from Peking, Tsinghua and
Fudan universities as well as ten applicants from University of Washington,
California State University and Washington University, were selected to
participate in program’s third year in spring 2010.

Prudential Foundation Global Citizens Program
The depth of involvement by
Prudential Foundation is unparalleled.
The Newark-based foundation
organized in spring 2010 a weekend
stay in Newark/New York for all
participants, enabling students to
meet many high-level executives from
various sectors of the foundation and
the company.
Prudential Financial has been a generous partner to The Washington
Center since 1982. In June 2009, The Prudential Foundation provided

Foundation Global Citizens Program. This program provides international
undergraduate or graduate students from India, Japan, Republic of Korea,
and Taiwan the opportunity to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. in
a program that exposes them to the role the U.S. government plays in the
context of an increasingly global, interdependent world.
The Prudential Foundation Global Citizens Program sponsors 75 students
in the course of three spring semesters, 2010, 2011, and 2012. The

Ford Motor Company Fund Diversity Scholarships

HSC Foundation Scholarships for Students with Disabilities
In addition to the college-to-work
training opportunities students
receive, the initiative also adds value
to the placement sites when they
begin to learn of the great ways in
which students with disabilities can
contribute to their organizations.
The Washington Center’s partnership with The HSC Foundation began
in 2007 through a challenge grant to help increase participation from
students with disabilities in our internship programs. Over the past few
years, The Washington Center has successfully leveraged this grant to raise
scholarship support for students with disabilities from additional donors.
The Washington Center is proud to name some of our ADA compliant
apartments in honor of The HSC Foundation’s further commitment to
youth with disabilities. In 2010, The HSC Foundation again provided
scholarship support to The Washington Center.

State
Partnerships
Last year, The Washington Center partnered with 11 states to
provide generous financial aid for students. These efforts promote
young talent and will serve to develop state workforces within the
coming years.
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) meets with Washington Center interns from Ohio.
Students are given the opportunity to discuss policy issues with members of their state’s
congressional delegation through The Washington Center’s Public Policy Dialogues on
Capitol Hill Program.
State Scholarship Awards
The State Relations Initiative has been a cornerstone of The
Washington Center’s scholarship efforts since 1995. More
than twenty state initiatives have been launched over the last
15 years, allowing hundreds of college and university students
to complete internships through the aid of scholarships
funded by their state governments. These initiatives have been
successful in securing between $2 and $3 million per year in
scholarship funding for students, many of whom come from
diverse or economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Washington Center works alongside state governments
to raise various amounts for each student. Typically, statefunded scholarships range from $3,000 to $6,000 and can
be available for students attending both public and private
universities.
State partnerships play a critical role in The Washington
Center’s enrollment, with approximately 40 to 50 percent
of domestic enrollment coming from funded states.

Summer 2010 intern, Aseem Mulji,
presenting his paper, “U.S. DOT and

Smart Growth and Livability” at the
Summer Transportation Internship
Program for Diverse Groups
(STIPDG) Closing Symposium.
Studies show that internships provide the best return on
investment for recruiting new talent to an organization. Intern
recruits tend to stay with their employers longer, minimizing
the impact of turnover on the organization. For the last eight
years, The Washington Center partnered with numerous
federal agencies to address the workforce planning challenges
the federal government faces.
Currently, The Washington Center partners
with many federal agencies including:
The Washington Center has been a link for the federal
government to a diverse, highly talented pool of candidates
who are interested in becoming the next generation of public
servants. In fact, 20-25% of Washington Center students
interning in federal agencies are converted to full-time
employment while the average conversion rate in the federal
government is 6%.

Our internship programs are a distinctive combination of
workforce training, experiential education, and leadership
development designed specifically for the federal agencies to
play a critical role in attracting a highly qualified and diverse
future workforce. As a result, participants gain relevant “real
world” work experience, make contacts critical to developing
their own professional network, and learn to tie classroom
learning with their future career. Students also gain a better
understanding and greater appreciation for the federal
government by exploring future career opportunities through
these tailored internship programs.

International Partnerships
The Washington Center began
developing partnerships with the
international higher education
community and government sectors
in 1999, starting with the State of
Tabasco in Mexico. Students from
abroad now make up more than 15
percent of our student body. These
institutions provide financial support
to their students.
Canada
Mexico
In 2010, 48 students from Canada participated in The
Washington Center programs. Most of these students were
able to take part in the experience thanks to the financial
assistance of their provincial governments. These provinces
include Alberta, Quebec and New Brunswick. Students from
the University of Ottawa received a substantial scholarship
from their university.
In 2010, 74 students from Mexico participated in The
Washington Center’s Governors Program, including
students, public servants and young professionals from
Veracruz, Queretaro, Chiapas, and Campeche. The
participation of all these students was made possible with
funding from their respective state governors. During the
semester, the students developed a project that impacts
and improves the well-being of their regions by attracting
investment or by representing a regional product or an
industry. Upon the students return to Mexico, these projects
are presented to their state governor and some of them are
implemented.
The participants came from the following universities:
Alberta: University of Alberta, University of Calgary,
Grand MacEwan University, Northern Alberta Institute of
Technology, Concordia University College
New Brunswick: University of New Brunswick Saint John
and Fredericton campuses
Québec: Université du Québec à Montréal, Université de
Montréal, Université Laval, Université de Sherbrooke, HEC
Montréal
Ontario: Queen’s University, Université d’Ottawa, Carleton
University, York University
British Columbia: University of Victoria

In the same year, The Washington Center organized two
academic seminars, one for high-ranking officials coming
from the Mexican Federal Supreme Court of Elections
sponsored by the United Nations Program for Development,
and another seminar for cabinet members sponsored by the
Governor of the State of Chiapas.
Belgium
The Minister provided 75,000 Euros in funding support
for ten (10) € 7500 scholarships in the fall 2010 and spring
2011 for students from the region of Flanders. Affiliation
agreements with Universiteit Gent, Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven, Universiteit Antwerpen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
and Universiteit Hasselt have been signed to allow students
from these universities to participate in this initiative. The
Washington Center is also in conversations with local and
multinational companies with presence in Belgium to obtain
additional funds to match the government support for the
program. The firm Ackermans & Van Haaren committed
€ 5,000 for three years and two board members, former
U.S. Ambassador to Belgium, The Honorable Alan Blinken
(Chairman of the Board) and Mr. Leonard Schrank have
contributed funding for additional scholarship support.
This collaboration not only promotes greater mutual
understanding between Belgium and the United States, but
it also contributes to the cultural enrichment of young people
ensuring the development of strong ties between Flemish
students and their American and international counterparts.
In the fall 2010 seven students came with sponsorship from
the Flemish Ministry of Education and one with a private
scholarship from the company Ackermans and Van Haaren.

Donors &
Leadership
The transformational experience our students receive is made
possible through the collaborative network of individuals within
institutions of higher education, the international community, the
corporate and foundation sectors, internship organizations, alumni,
and the leadership and staff of The Washington Center.
Irene Hirano Inouye, chair of Ford Foundation, and president of the U.S.-Japan Council,
was leading a delegation of Japanese-American business executives in Tokyo when the
earthquake disaster struck. She spoke of her first-hand experience of the human tragedy
to the spring semester students of The Washington Center, which included a number of
students from Japan and other Asian countries.
The Washington Center’s Honor Roll of Donors
Public and private contributions and grants make up approximately 35 percent of the
organization’s budget. A handful of The Washington Center’s funding relationships
span more than two decades; others are brand new. These relationships vary in depth,
breadth and reach. Leveraging networks, resources, and opportunities grows the
impact of these gifts substantially. At the center of these collaborative partnerships
is a unanimous purpose: preparing college students and young professionals for
leadership, professional achievement, and civic engagement.
