In accordance with George Washington University policy, all accepted Institute members must be fully vaccinated (base + boosters) by the time of their arrival in Washington DC. Before the trip, you will be asked to provide documentation of your vaccination. Please consult the George Washington University's Covid-19 safety policy for more information. If you are not currently vaccinated, you may still apply. However, if accepted, you will need to take steps to be in accordance with stated safety procedures. You must also be in accordance with requirements put in place by both the French and American governments by the time of the trip.
In addition to the steps above, there are three forms (one for students, one for teachers, and one for parental guardians) that confirm that each have reviewed the rules, expectations, and conditions that are part of the Institute. In a PDF application, all three of these forms are required. In a website-submitted application, these terms and conditions are included as check-boxes, so the forms are not required.
