Members May Apply for Georgetown Summer Program

Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., invites Phi Theta Kappa members to apply for the summer Semester in Washington Program in Law. Phi Theta Kappa members admitted to the program will receive a one-credit scholarship. This new program will select a small number of undergraduate students who are interested in exploring the practical side of a pre-law program through an internship and seminar experience. Students work as interns Monday-Friday and meet once a week for class. Georgetown University helps students find and secure full-time, substantive internships, based on the students' individual academic and professional goals. Students earn three credits for the internship and accompanying academic seminar, "Law: Ethics and Leadership." For an additional three credits, students can either enroll in a summer course at Georgetown or take a research seminar offered only to Semester in Washington Program students. Program dates are June 2-August 9. Students can live in Georgetown housing. Tuition is $965.00 per credit. One-credit scholarships are awarded to admitted Phi Theta Kappa members. Applications and complete eligibility requirements may be found online.
