Is participation in the internship an allowable WIC cost?
Yes, USDA has stated in a policy memorandum that federal WIC funds can be used to support the development and operation of a dietetic internship that is approved / accredited by the American Dietetic Association. Texas WIC Dietetic Interns will charge their time to WIC Nutrition Education, if they are receiving a salary while participating in the internship. Other expenses that the WIC local agency may pay the costs for include professional textbooks and travel to internship facilities.
