Bill > SF2112

This bill appropriates a total of $2 million ($1 million in fiscal year 2026 and $1 million in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to support the Minnesota Technology Association's SciTech internship program. The grant will help fund paid internships in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields for two- and four-year college students and graduate students. The program specifically targets internships at small Minnesota-based for-profit companies with fewer than 250 employees worldwide. The grant will cover 50% of an intern's wages, up to $3,000 per intern, with a particular focus on increasing participation among women and other underserved populations in STEM fields. This is a one-time appropriation designed to support workforce development and provide meaningful work experience for students in technical disciplines while helping small companies access talented emerging professionals.
