DCI FAQ
What does tuition cover?
Tuition for part-time interns will cover books and materials, workshops, and retreats. Full-time intern tuition covers housing, utilities, twenty-one meals per week, classes, books, and materials. A deposit is required two weeks after being accepted with the remaining tuition due before the beginning of the internship. Interns should plan on budgeting for personal expenses such as personal items, laundry, entertainment, and car/transportation expenses.

Do you offer scholarships?
No. All interns must raise their own support for the internship. However, we do offer tuition reduction incentives.

How do I apply for an internship?
Applications are available online at www.dreamdm.org, by emailing us at dci@dreamdm.org or by calling 515-24-DREAM and requesting an application be sent to you.

When should I apply?
As soon as you can, we suggest at least three weeks before the internship starts. We stop accepting applications when we are full.

If I apply am I guaranteed a spot in the program?
No one is guaranteed a spot in the internship. Please only make plans to come to the internship once you have been accepted and informed a spot has been saved for you.

Do I need a car or laptop?
Unless car-pooling with other interns, a car will be neccessary for part-time interns and is highly recommended for full-time interns. A laptop is useful for study and communication but is not required.

Can I hold a job as a full-time intern?
No. Because of the intensity of your schedule you may not have an outside job while in the internship.

Can I provide my own housing as a full-time intern?
Ministry is most effective when it flows from the context of community and relationships, therefore you must stay in the housing provided by the internship.

How many intern positions are available?
There is no minimum number of interns for an internship. We encourage all who are interested to apply, because the more interns we have the more people we can reach.

How much money will I need to bring?
Depending on your personal spending habits, we recommend that each intern budget a minimum of $100 for personal items and spending per month. You will be responsible for your own bills and other expenses.
