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 Michael B. Smith

Chairman President

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.

Ford Motor Company Global Scholars Program
Since 2008, more than 70 students

from around the world have
participated in the Ford Motor
Company Global Scholars Program,
including the fall semester 2010
participants.
In 2008, The Washington Center received a grant from Ford Motor

Company to create The Ford Motor Company Global Scholars Program.
The mission of the program is to develop future global leaders in the area
of international community development by equipping participants with
in-depth knowledge of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs);
providing them with resources, skills, mentorship and training to promote
their professional success in their careers; and by learning ways in which they
can contribute to the welfare of their communities.
The Washington Center welcomed its third class of Ford Motor Company

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
$1,000,000 to The Washington Center to establish the Prudential
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
Washington Center welcomed its first class of 24 students to the program
during the spring 2010 semester.

Ford Motor Company Fund Diversity Scholarships
The Washington Center salutes Ford

The support of Ford Motor Company and the Ford Motor Company
Fund spans almost 25 years, beginning with their program support for the

sponsorship, the Fund has been instrumental to many important milestones
that mark the development of our Diversity Leadership Initiative: it
provided seed grants for the creation of the Minorities in Congress Program
in 1993 and the NAFTA Leaders Program in 1996. Ford has been steadfast
in supporting students of diverse backgrounds with its ongoing scholarship
contribution. In 2007, Ford Motor Company approved a $1.0 million grant
to develop the Ford Motor Company Global Scholars Program. Ford Motor
Company has also served as the presenting sponsor of The Washington
Center’s annual gala for the last four years, 2007-2010.

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.

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.
