Employment and Financial Aid

The UMass Amherst DI program recognizes the need for most students to work during the internship program. The program strives to maintain flexibility with rotation schedules; however, precentors typically work business “daytime” hours, therefore students should be available during those hours. Daily hours and/or days/week may be adjusted to accommodate work, although preference should be given to the internship whenever possible. Students should contact the program director if they have concerns with work/rotation hours.

Students enrolled in the UMass Amherst DI program are not eligible for financial aid through the University’s Financial Aid Office. Several scholarships and financial assistance are available through the EatRight.org to qualified dietetic students.
