MTIP

The Maryland Technology Internship Program can reimburse employers up to 50% of an intern’s wage, up to $5,500 annually per intern ($3,000 for the first semester and $2,500 for subsequent semester). An employer may apply for no more than two funding awards for the same intern.

Applications for MTIP funding will be accepted on a rolling basis and will be reviewed bi‐monthly. Applicants will receive a notice of approval or denial within 15 days of submission. Applications will be evaluated competitively on all eligibility criteria. MTIP funding amounts will be dependent on the availability of funds.

WE ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2024 AND FALL 2024.

Four Steps to Funding — At a Glance

1. Submit your MTIP Application and Internship Position for review and approval.
   Receive notice of Pre-Approval or Denial from MTIP within 15 business days.
2. Once you obtain pre-approval, attend a mandatory online orientation session to learn more about the reimbursement process, and best practices in recruiting and on-boarding an intern.
3. Recruit and Confirm your Intern Hire.
   The selected candidate must complete the Intern Hire Verification Form no later than four weeks post internship start.  Please be sure to review intern eligibility details to ensure your intern hire meets the qualifications of the program.  Funding is only reserved for an employer once an application is approved and an intern hire is reported.  If MTIP funding availability changes for any reason, employers will be notified immediately.
4. At the conclusion of the internship, the following documents must be completed for funding to be disbursed:
   1. Intern Evaluation Form, which will be sent by the MTIP administrator and completed by the intern.
   2. Intern Performance Evaluation, which will be sent by the MTIP administrator and completed by the employer.
   3. Reimbursement Request, which will be sent by the MTIP administrator and completed by the employer.

MTIP Reimbursement Process:

Once your intern has completed their internship with your organization MTIP administrators will send out an email with instructions for reimbursement, which will include:

• A form to submit your invoice and intern payroll information:
  • • Intern information- name, dates of service, rate of pay and hours worked
    • Amount you are requesting to be reimbursed and the total gross pay in which the intern was paid
    • All pay stubs for the duration of the internship in which you are seeking reimbursement

Applications for MTIP funding are accepted on a rolling basis and are reviewed weekly.  Organizations will receive a notice of approval or denial within 15 days of submission.
