Cal State DC Scholars

About the Program

Cal State DC Scholars is a systemwide CSU program that brings together CSUN in DC and CSUF DC Scholars to give students the opportunity to live, work, and learn in Washington, D.C. The program is offered in the spring, summer, and fall and is open to students from all majors and CSU campuses. It combines meaningful internships with real-world experience in the nation’s capital, helping students connect what they learn in the classroom to professional practice.

Why Cal State DC Scholars?

Cal State DC Scholars expands access to opportunities that have historically been out of reach for many CSU students. The program bridges the gap between education and the professional world by providing hands on experience, mentorship, and exposure to national institutions, giving students the confidence, skills, and networks to move forward in their careers.
