{{youtube:large|XG3eMSiy9dE, Listen to Associate Director Erin Battle explain the impact your donation makes!}}

Help provide scholarship support for William & Mary students to study and engage in the Washington, D.C.-area, through study opportunities, student-centered events, class and organization visits, and student-alumni mentoring and networking opportunities. Our opportunities expose William & Mary students to the dynamic governmental, business, cultural, and non-profit, and social institutions of the region, helps integrate them into D.C.’s vibrant William & Mary alumni network, and allows them to begin exploring their career paths.

Unfortunately, we’re seeing these incredible opportunities denied to an increasing number of the William & Mary students who most need them due to financial constraints.

Accordingly, the W&M Washington Center provides grants to these students.
