Program/Profession Related Costs: Dietetic interns are required to pay application and computer match costs, obtain medical exams and immunizations prior to enrollment, pay professional organization membership and meeting registration, and pay for the registration examination following graduation.
Housing and Living Costs: Students are responsible for making housing arrangements. Off-campus apartments are available within walking distance or throughout the Omaha metropolitan area. Student parking is available on campus. For financial aid purposes, living expenses (rent, food, transportation, other) are estimated at $1200 per month.

Financial Assistance: The UNMC Dietetic Internship Program does not include a stipend.

Partial tuition waivers may be available for highly qualified non-resident students who are admitted to the program through the nationwide computer matching process.
