HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

TGM interns are considered unpaid volunteers who are responsible to raise funds for travel and personal expenses for the duration of their internship term (i.e. groceries, entertainment, clothing, fuel, and personal bills plus the cost of travel to/from Utah). Each individual's needs vary, but an estimate for the average intern budget would be approximately $350 per month plus travel to/from Utah ($150 for groceries, $50 for fuel, $100 for entertainment, clothing, etc.). Donors have 2 options: 1) Donate to the TGM Intern Scholarship where donations are equally divided between current interns and donors receive a tax deduction; or 2) Personal Intern Donation where 100% of the donation is received by the individual intern and is not through Tri-Grace Ministries. Personal intern donations are not tax deductible.
