NECC Internship Stipend | Fall 2026 Applications
2026-08-17 - 2026-09-21
Are you a current student doing an internship for course credit this fall semester? Consider applying for a stipend!
Northern Essex Community College is providing stipends to assist students completing a for-credit, unpaid or underpaid internship, or other experiential learning. This is intended to help alleviate the cost of expenses and the reduced ability to work while completing this academic experience. We have limited stipends available and anticipate a competitive application pool. Practicums and clinicals could be considered eligible for this stipend; however, some programs have external accreditation restrictions that prohibit them from receiving payment for experiential learning hours required for licensure (e.g., Sleep Technologist).
Applications will be accepted from August 17th until September 21st at 11:59 pm.
Recipients will be notified by October 9th.
Visit this link to review eligibility criteria, guidelines, and apply.
