About the Washington Programs Crowdfunding Campaign

Sen. John Glenn believed that students from the heart of the country should have the opportunity to gain experience in Washington. Over 20 years ago, he established the Washington Academic Internship Program (WAIP), which now welcomes over 50 undergraduate students annually to spend a transformative semester living, learning and interning in D.C.

The college established the MPA-DC program in 2018. Now, 33 students have earned their MPA with hands-on experience working in the nation’s capital. The #1 barrier for students to enroll in and complete these programs is the cost of living and housing in Washington. Every year, your support of this crowdfunding campaign raises funds to offset these prohibitive costs for deserving students. Your gift helps build a path for students from Ohio State to begin meaningful careers for public good.
