Mission Statement
International Student House of Washington, DC, a non-profit organization in the heart of Washington, DC, promotes inter-cultural dialogue, encourages life-long connections, and fosters global citizenship by providing an exceptional residential experience to a highly diverse international community of graduate students, interns, and visiting scholars. We strive to be the model international community and our mission is “soft diplomacy” at its best. Our resident scholars gain a unique cross-cultural experience at the House that helps prepare them for future leadership roles and to take on global challenges. The House instills a spirit of international cooperation and the open exchange of ideas that fosters global citizenship. We lay the foundations for long-term and long-distance global relationships that are realized when scholars return home to their countries.
About This Cause
The International Student House of Washington, DC provides students and young professionals of different nationalities and diverse cultures with the opportunity to live and learn together in a community of mutual respect, understanding and international friendship. Since our founding in 1936, more than 15,500 graduate students, interns, and visiting scholars representing more than 140 countries have lived at the House. Our alumni have gone on to serve as foreign Ambassadors, Prime Ministers, government officials, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and academics. Each year, the House welcomes approximately 250 residents from 60 countries. The majority of them are pursuing Master’s, Doctoral, or other professional degrees at Washington-area universities. Other residents participate in internships or scholarly research projects at the White House, the U.S. Congress, foreign embassies, World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, Smithsonian Institution, Center for Strategic and International Studies, and with many other international and public policy organizations. In addition to providing room and board, the House offers residents a wide variety of activities designed to foster a sense of community and stimulate substantive discussion.
