About the IWP-Elon Partnership
IWP and Elon University have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide Elon graduates with a $2,200 per semester scholarship for any in-person IWP M.A. program, in addition to any merit-based scholarships earned through their application. Elon alumni are also eligible for these benefits. If Elon graduates enroll in IWP’s distance programs, they will receive a tuition reduction from $650 to $500 per credit hour.
The MoU also offers an early assurance option for Elon students to IWP’s M.A. programs, allowing them to apply to IWP after April 1st of their Junior (or third year) and receive a conditional admission decision (contingent on graduation from Elon).
IWP will reserve a spot in its undergraduate internship program each semester for a qualified Elon student seeking to expand their experience in national security and international affairs studies. Internships include research with an IWP professor in areas such as counterterrorism, diplomacy, intelligence, and human rights.
Master the Art of Statecraft with World-Class Education
At IWP, you’ll gain invaluable insights from our esteemed faculty, who have held leadership positions in organizations such as the FBI, CIA, and State Department. Our interdisciplinary curriculum, hands-on experience, and practical training will empower you to excel in the competitive fields of intelligence, diplomacy, and national security.
Elon University and IWP have already seen success in nurturing future leaders through our partnership. Elon alumni like Kelly Zug (Elon ’12) have benefited from the exceptional education and opportunities provided by both institutions. Kelly, who earned her M.A. in Strategic Intelligence Studies at IWP, now works in national security with the federal government.
