Optional Fees
In addition to Tuition and Housing, many students and families add the Stipend Plan, Clark University, and/or University of Montana courses to their Dynamy experience.
Stipend Plan
The Stipend Plan allows for $200 per week to cover daily living expenses, such as food, laundry, transportation, and entertainment. Dynamy disburses the Stipend each week to support students in learning budgeting and financial management skills. Students who participate in the Stipend plan do not need an individual bank account. There is a small administrative fee of $25 per semester; 90-100% of students participate in the Stipend Plan each year.
Clark University Courses
Through our partnership with Clark University’s School of Professional Studies, we offer 3 college courses during the full Internship Year. Tuition for each is $1750. Each course is a 1-unit course (the equivalent of 4 credit hours). Learn more here.
University of Montana Courses
Through our accreditation with the Gap Year Association (GYA) and their school of record, the University of Montana, we offer 3 College Courses during the full Internship Year for a $1950 flat fee per semester. Students can earn up to 6 credits per semester. Learn more here.
Financial Aid
We are proud of our demonstrated commitment to financial assistance for students in need. We award need-based aid on a first come first served basis. Students & Families can apply for financial aid via the School and Student Service for Financial Aid form (SSS), available at: School & Student Services. The Dynamy code is 2938.
Dynamy affirms the guarantee of equal opportunity for both staff and interns, without discrimination for reasons of race, ethnic background, religious belief, sex or handicap.
529 Funds
Dynamy Internship Year is proudly accredited by the Gap Year Association (GYA). The GYA offers college credits through the University of Montana (UM) to students taking gap time with accredited gap year programs such as Dynamy. Students enrolled in an online course at UM can earn up to 6 college credits per semester, in turn making 529 Savings Plans applicable to the full cost of Dynamy tuition—making your internship experience not just life-changing, but college-credit eligible! Learn how it works here
Additionally, 529 Savings Plans can also be used to cover the fee for in-person courses we offer through Clark University. However, it is important to note that Clark University is not our official school of record therefore enrollment in the Clark University courses does not meet the requirement for the use of 529 funds to cover the full cost of Dynamy tuition. Funds are applied to the course fee only. For more information on our Clark University courses click here
International Students
Over the past decade, a number of international students have attended Internship Year, usually for a semester or a year prior to attending college in the United States. Though we do not currently have a procedure for obtaining visas for students who are not US citizens, we will be happy to provide any documentation that might assist in securing visas.
