Housing and Living Stipends

For our cohort internship program, DCSI coordinates and pays for student housing. The housing in Boston is dorms (apartment-style) with shared bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Because DCSI pays for housing, the stipend check you receive is for your transportation from Dartmouth to your internship site, as well as living expenses during your internship such as groceries and public transportation. The estimated 26X stipend amount for Boston is $2,800 (the stipend is subject to change each year).

Internship Roles

Learn more about our program and community organizations in the Boston Program Profile.  Students will not be able to select or express preference for a specific CSO or role. They will be matched according to the needs of the CSO and the community it serves.
