In our daughter's case, her internship was for college credit with the college arranging/overseeing the communication between student and entity and reviewing a paper written at the conclusion before awarding credit. But she wasn't working directly for the college, but rather a local museum. I *think* the contract used the term stipend (daughter discussed a little of the contract, but I never actually got to see it). It wasn't for the full summer, but a certain number of weeks/hours--so not sporadic? Also, the stipend was less than half the $4000 limit another poster mentioned. She lived on campus during the internship and the stipend didn't even recoup the costs of the tuition, fees, room&board. So, while she was hoping for an internship that would help reduce the costs, the internship was more for the experience than the $ (if just for $ she would have moved back home for the summer and resumed her previous summer job!).
Does any of that help or just make it as clear as mud?
Thank you!
