WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES, October 22, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The WISH-WISE Foundation, established to support students with hardships during a Washington internship, has announced grant funds for students in 2021 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

WISH has continued in 2020 under a Covid-19 protocol of policies in partnership with schools, assuring safety for students, staff, mentors, parents, and all involved.

Through the WISH-WISE Foundation, WISH has developed for Spring, 2021:

• Covid-19 protocol providing quarantine space, if needed, at no cost to programs
• Grants to partnered programs for students with unexpected hardships
