Thanks, Corrin et al. The internship rates for LARP graduate students at UMass Amherst are comparable to what Christine has mentioned for Tufts (c. $20./hour, plus or minus depending on student qualifications desired). At a threshold of total internship compensation,
it could be classified as an externship that potentially qualifies for a UMass tuition waiver. For employers in the commutershed of Western Massachusetts, we may be a good source of suitable candidates throughout the entire year (not just summer). All best
wishes and kind regards, Mark</div>

At Tufts' graduate department of Urban and Environmental Planning and Policy, we recommend $20/hour. The average pay rate of our internships last year was $18, and the mode was $20.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am considering writing a line item in a grant proposal to hire an intern to assist with an environmental planning project. For those of you who work with interns, I am curious what your hourly wage is and if you find it to be competitive. At this point
I am primarily considering graduate-level interns. </div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for any insights,</div>
