The Washington Internship for Native Students, established under the auspices of American University's Washington Semester Program, was developed in response to the White House Initiative to help American Indian and Alaskan Native students develop knowledge and leadership skills necessary to enhance their potential to contribute to their communities on reservations, and the nation. Having access to a significant pool of American Indian and Alaskan Native students, the program focuses on experiential learning by coupling internships with coursework and ensuring that traditional values and practices of sovereign nations and tribes are intermingled in the program. WINS will continue to collaborate with the National Science Foundation to provide internship placements for American Indian and Alaskan Native students, a group of students sorely under-represented in the STEM workforce. It is anticipated as a result of this effort, the NSF will serve as a conduit to broaden participation of this under-represented group, and diversify the future STEM enterprise, needed to keep the US competitive in a global environment.

华盛顿土著学生实习项目是在美利坚大学华盛顿学期项目的主持下设立的，旨在响应白宫的倡议，帮助美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加土著学生发展必要的知识和领导技能，以增强他们为保留地社区和国家做出贡献的潜力。该项目有机会接触到大量的美国印第安人和阿拉斯加土著学生，通过将实习与课程结合起来，注重体验式学习，并确保在项目中融合了主权国家和部落的传统价值观和做法。WINS将继续与美国国家科学基金会合作，为美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民学生提供实习机会，这是一群在STEM劳动力中代表性严重不足的学生。预计通过这一努力，NSF将成为扩大这一代表性不足群体参与的渠道，并使未来的STEM企业多样化，这是保持美国在全球环境中的竞争力所必需的。
