The Nebraska EPSCoR office is subsidizing another round of its costs-share internship program. The Nebraska Engineering, Science and Technology Internship Program (NESTIP), was created to defray the costs of employing a talented student studying at a Nebraska four-year college or university.
The program reimburses a Nebraska business up to fifty percent of the cost of employing acollege or university student studying in Nebraska.
Qualifying students are juniors, seniors or graduate students majoring in science, technology or engineering at one of Nebraska’s four-year colleges or universities. The maximum reimbursement is $5,000 per student per company during a six-month funding period. Application and reimbursement processes are simple, requiring a limited amount of paperwork.
A NESTIP reimbursement request requires a completed student application, a completed company application and a completed mentor form if the student is a graduate student. The funding of requests is a competitive process.
