Financial Aid

DDIP does not do not qualify for federal financial aid, so tuition for DDIP is not a “qualified educational expense”. This means the program cannot provide 1098-T forms and does not qualify for federal financial aid. Interns who are enrolled in a graduate  program while completing the internship may qualify for federal financial aid for their graduate school tuition only. 

Interns may request a deferral for previously acquired student loans, which is accepted by some, but not all, lenders.
