Eligibility Requirements and Deadlines
Student eligibility to attend the Bing Stanford in Washington Program is as follows:
Seniors: Fall and Winter Quarters of senior year.
Juniors: Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters of junior year.
Sophomores: Second round application for Winter and the first or second round for Spring quarter of their sophomore year. We highly recommend consulting with our team before applying as a sophomore. More experiences at Stanford and on your resume can be beneficial in the internship search process.
Class year is determined by your number of years at Stanford not your academic standing. First year students are not eligible to attend. Please contact jvizas [at] stanford.edu (jvizas[at]stanford[dot]edu) with any questions. Or to ask for any exceptions.
If the program is not full after our first round application we will have a second round application.
International students will need to apply for CPT through the Bechtel Center for their internships. You are responsible for confirming that your Visa status permits you to participate in an internship in Washington, D.C. for the quarter. If you have taken a leave of absence over the previous year you may not be eligible, please consult with Bechtel.
Applications are due two quarters in advance. Qualified students will be contacted for interviews as part of the application process. Transfer students must have completed at least one academic quarter at Stanford at the time of application.
If you are on provisional registration or on University suspension for any reason, or if Stanford has conferred your undergraduate degree before the last date of residence of the program you are NOT eligible to participate in the Program. If you are on University probation or academic status or are not eligible for housing at Stanford University you are likewise unable to participate in the Program.
Students from all majors are welcome to apply. There is no coursework required for admission, however the Program strongly recommends that students take coursework related to their particular internship interests.
