Programme Overview

First-year students who demonstrated academic excellence and involvement throughout high school may be invited to apply for the four-year Presidential Fellows Program. Fellows can access unique learning and exploration opportunities, priority course registration, possible additional scholarship dollars, and more. Presidential Fellows form a close-knit, focused community within the larger Washington College community.

Benefits

Scholarship Opportunities:

• Presidential Fellows candidates have the opportunity to apply for additional scholarships, ranging from the highly-selective George Washington Signature Scholarship* — a full-tuition, four-year scholarship available to one student — to the selective Francis Waters Scholarship — an up to $5,000 tuition scholarship available to multiple students.
  • Every student who is interviewed for the Presidential Fellows Program will receive an annual scholarship of at least $3,000 — stackable with other merit or financial aid — even if you are not ultimately selected to be a Presidential Fellow. If chosen to be a Presidential Fellow, the scholarship for completing the interview will comprise part of the final Presidential Fellows award.

*The George Washington Signature Scholarship replaces other merit offers.

Additional Benefits:

• Access priority course registration for your first two years.
• Enjoy the option of rooming with other Presidential Fellows who share similar study habits and social interests.
• Enjoy a fall kick-off mixer and an end-of-year social.
• Be recognized with a Presidential Fellows cord at graduation.
• Take part in faculty-led enrichment learning events, organized into Themes, during your first year. 
• Attend programs designed to help you take advantage of essential experiences including internships, externships, post-graduate and career-oriented opportunities.

• Participate in the annual Presidential Fellows Leadership Summit, a dynamic, three-day retreat where Fellows engage with peers and professionals through workshops, social networking, and applied leadership initiatives. The Summit culminates with students showcasing their projects to President Sosulski.  

• Network and build your resumé with activities sponsored by the College’s chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, the Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows, and the Omicron Delta Kappa national leadership honor society. These opportunities can help you qualify for distinguished national honors such as Fulbright Fellowships and Rhodes, Marshall, Goldwater, and Truman scholarships, as well as induction into the Washington College Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Of the 29 WC students inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in 2023, about two-thirds were Presidential Fellows.
