Participants live and work in the Washington D.C. area after the initial two-week training in Monterey.

The cost of the program is fully funded. Student benefits include CSUMB fees, food and housing, a stipend, a text-binder and other academic materials for the two-week program at CSUMB. The Institute also funds travel, housing, and a stipend for the interns? time in Washington, D.C.
