JSDC Intern Reimbursement Program

The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation Internship Reimbursement Program is designed to increase the number of local internships and assist our employers in workforce recruitment and retention. The program will contribute up to $3,500 to reimburse employers that hire University/College students to assist in the payroll costs. The program is open to employers in Stutsman County.

Program Guidelines:

• Employers may be eligible for up to $3,500 in reimbursement.
• Employers may be eligible for half the payroll cost to be reimbursed. For example, if the projected cost for the employers is $8,000 they would be eligible for up to $3,500. If the projected cost for the employer is $4,000 they would be eligible for $2,000.
• JSDC will meet quarterly to award eligible employers.
• JSDC will select eligible employers for reimbursement after the deadlines. Specific dollar amounts will be determined for each application selected at that time.
• The employer and internship position must be located in Stutsman County.
• Interns must be juniors or seniors, or within two years of completing their program.
• Employers must pay the intern at least $15 per hour.
• Employers must apply before the intern begins work.
• Employers cannot receive reimbursement for the same intern for more than one round of funding.
• The internship does not have to be for academic credit, but it is encouraged.

 Please contact the JSDC for the current application and deadline.
