Estimated Expenses
Since there are no WMU stipends available, the intern is expected to meet all personal needs for food, clothing and transportation. With practice experiences located throughout western Michigan, it is essential that the intern have full-time use of a reliable car and a valid driver’s license. Interns will need to drive daily to and from rotations during the 10-month program.

Financial Aid
Those enrolled in the WMU Dietetic Internship Program take six graduate credits per semesters and are therefore considered full-time graduate students. Because of this status, they may qualify for student loans and loan deferments. Students pursuing a master’s degree are also eligible for Graduate School scholarships and fellowships. Information about these can be obtained from The Graduate College. The American Dietetic Association also offers scholarships and fellowships to graduate students.
