STEM Scholar Internship Match program

The STEM Scholar Internship Match Program is no longer accepting 2009–2010 applications, due to a reduction in funding in the Commonwealth's FY2010 budget.

The STEM Scholar Internship Match Program provides financial aid support, through matching funds, to students who have received a corporate scholarship and/or paid internship. The program encourages students to obtain employment in the Massachusetts upon graduation. The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education received $2.5 million in funds from the 2006 Economic Stimulus Bill to establish a Scholar Intern Program.
