Mass. Board of Higher Education Establishes Matching Grant Program to Fund Internships in Science-Related Industries.




A matching grant program that offers technology-based companies (including medical device firms) up to $5,000 to fund internships for qualified Massachusetts college and graduate school students has been announced. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Intern Scholar Program is aimed at helping highly capable students at Massachusetts colleges and universities remain in the Commonwealth, working for Massachusetts companies, following graduation.
