All HCC interns are paid educational stipends that range from $4,200 – $6,000 for completing the ten (10) week, full-time consecutive summer internship. The stipend amount is dependent on various funding streams and what the host organizations are able to provide. Some industries are funding above $6,000.

Stipends are dispersed in three installments throughout the course of your internship.

In addition, we encourage students to pursue internship funding from their college or university and work-study funds, if available, from their academic institution. Please see question #6 for details, as instructions for pursuing work-study are identical to those for academic credit.

HCC can support students who would like to receive academic credit for their summer health internship. All HCC interns must obtain and present all necessary documents to HCC prior to the internship to accommodate any adjustments necessary to meet the requirements of the credit-granting institution.

Many HCC interns are hired on a full-time or part-time basis and some summer interns may extend their internship or continue on a volunteer basis upon exemplary completion of their health internship. This is not guaranteed, and the decision is at the sole discretion of the placement organization.
