J-1 research scholars or visiting professors can be paid by UMass Dartmouth or receive funds from another source, such as home institution or government, or even personal funds. Student interns are usually paid by UMass Dartmouth, by the department or college to which they are assigned.
Scholars and interns must have at least a specified minimum of money available per month US for living expenses in addition to health care and travel costs. Proof of funding will be requested as part of the hiring process, and later during the visa application process.
