Projects can be either paid or unpaid. The Project Poster will determine the compensation and share that information via the Project posting on the Maroon and Gold Network.
We encourage paid Projects, if possible. The recommended rate is $15/hour or $600 total for a 40-hour Project. All compensation will be handled between the Project Poster and Recipient directly. The Maroon and Gold Network and the Alumni Association do not facilitate this.
If offering a paid Project is a barrier to hosting an experience, please proceed with posting an unpaid Project as our central goal is to create opportunities for students to gain new skills, explore different industries, and make career connections. The condensed timeframe and added flexibility of a Project may limit some of the financial barriers that would otherwise get in the way of students pursuing a more traditional unpaid internship.
Additionally, the Mooty Internship Scholarship is available to students to accept an unpaid micro-internship.
