Application
Application for admission is on a rolling basis, so interested students are strongly encouraged to apply early.
Each application must be accompanied by a $100 nonrefundable registration fee. Non-WCL students must include a letter of good standing by their Dean or Registrar for the application to be considered. Participation in the program is limited to forty students. The registration fee will be returned only if the application is rejected, the program is cancelled or the student is disqualified.
The program fee is $9,018, which is the cost of six (6) law school credits at Washington College of Law. At no additional cost, the program includes housing, reading materials, health insurance during the official dates of the program, organized tours, receptions, and transportation to Program activities. Participants are responsible for the cost of all international travel, most meals (approximately $30 per day) and the cost of commuting to and from classes (about $3-5 per day if using public transportation or bicycle rental). After receiving notice of acceptance, an applicant must submit an additional $500 deposit within three weeks of notice of acceptance. Failure to submit the $500 deposit may result in forfeiture of place in the program. Checks should be made payable to the Washington College of Law. All payments are nonrefundable, except in the event the Program is unable to accommodate an accepted applicant. Persons with disabilities should contact Program staff prior to submitting their application fee to learn of any potential challenges while in The Hague. The Program reserves the right to cancel at any time because of insufficient enrollment or for other good cause.
