FAQs
The total stipend is £19,162, equating to approximately £1596.83 per month, paid monthly through Payroll for 12 months
No. As the stipend is a true bursary for studies only (students are not doing any work at all for us in relation to the payment), then it should not be classed as earned income, but should still be declared. You would need to speak to HMRC for confirmation as to whether this would affect your tax with your other employer in relation to any tax allowances they may be using. The tax office number is 0300 200 3300.

You are able to apply for both an intercalation and an internship without either application being affected by the other. However, only one application can be successful, and the intercalation would take priority. If your intercalation application is unsuccessful, then your internship application would remain valid.
