The W&M Study in DC Scholarship Fund
Help W&M Students Study in DC!
Help provide scholarship support for William & Mary students to study and engage in the Washington, DC area, through study opportunities, student-centered events, class and organization visits, and student-alumni mentoring and networking opportunities. Our opportunities expose William & Mary students to the dynamic governmental, business, cultural, and non-profit, and social institutions of the region, helps integrate them into DC’s vibrant William & Mary alumni network, and allows them to begin exploring their career paths in the “real world.”
Unfortunately, we’re seeing these incredible opportunities denied to an increasing number of the William & Mary students who most need them due to financial constraints.
Accordingly, the W&M Study in DC Scholarship Fund provides grants to these students.
