SUMMER 2022 PROGRAM DATES
Sunday, June 5 – Saturday, August 6
Application Deadline: 1 February 2022
*Dates subject to change depending upon availability of university summer housing
COVID-19 NOTE: As of September 2021, we are recruiting candidates for the 2022 WISE program. However, please note that we will monitor the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the program may be offered as a virtual program if George Washington University does not make summer housing available.
WISE seeks applications from exceptional engineering students who display evidence of leadership skills and have a keen interest in public policy.
Applicants should select a sponsoring society from the list below and fill out their respective societies application form that will include details about submission requirements.
WISE applicants should apply directly to their desired sponsor using the contact information provided below. Send all application materials to your chosen Sponsors.
For questions about the application forms and the application process not covered in the FAQs, please contact the Sponsors designated society coordinator for your sponsoring society.
NOTE: Some of the WISE societies – AIChE, ANS, IEEE and SAE – will sponsor only individuals who are members of their societies at the time of application. If you are a member of a society that does not sponsor a WISE intern – for example, ASCE and ASME do not participate in the WISE program – please consider joining one of the sponsoring societies.
To qualify for consideration:
PLEASE NOTE: The dates of the WISE program are not flexible. Due to the short nature of the WISE program, students MAY NOT MISS DAYS by arriving in Washington late, leaving early, or taking vacations during the program. You MUST BE present for all nine (9) weeks.
In addition to the eligibility guidelines for participation in the WISE program, each sponsoring society uses its own criteria in determining which students to select from its applicant pool.
