Stipends are an exciting part of completing your externship, but sometimes there may be a slight delay in receiving the funds.

Typical Processing Time

  • Stipends generally take 3–5 business days to process after you are notified that the payment has been sent.

If You Haven’t Received Your Stipend

  1. Double-check your payout information

    • Log in to the Student Portal and confirm that your payout information is correct.

    • Incorrect or outdated information is the most common reason for delayed payments.

  2. Understand Our Payment Policy

    • Once a stipend is sent, Extern is no longer responsible for any errors caused by incorrect payout details.

    • If an error occurs, we cannot resend a new payment until the original stipend is returned to Extern by the payment processor or bank.

  3. Contact Your Bank or Provider

    • If the stipend still hasn’t arrived after 5 business days and your information is correct, contact your bank or payment provider to trace the transaction.


Tip: To prevent delays, always make sure your payout information is accurate and up to date before your stipend is processed.
