How much does it cost?

  • Students who participate in Fall or Spring pay a program fee. This is a combination of a block rate and a housing charge (see Recruiter for current rates).

  • The benefits  include simplicity in payment, fellowship with other Liberty University interns and a supportive resident Assistant (RA).

Is there placement assistance?

When can I go?

  • TWF offers Fall, Spring and Summer opportunities.
  • Students are required to have achieved Junior status at Liberty University.

Have students found full time work as a result of their internships?

Yes. Throughout the semesters, many TWF interns have received job offers as a result of the program. As the semesters progress, the percentage of interns receiving full time job offers increases.

I'm in! What's next?
