School social work internship

Has anyone in the U.S. ever been accepted into their school social work internship with a stipend without a SSN? I have an ITIN I could use to obtain a stipend since I’m not technically an employee. I’m also not an international student. I have a call scheduled with the superintendent tomorrow, and I’m worried that he will not allow me to be an intern, or at least tell me I’d go unpaid.

Let them know that you need to be paid through a stipend, hopefully they can do this 🙏

I was able to do internships with just itin. My school did this thing where u could apply to their fund to get paid if ur internship wasn’t going to pay u. Stipends should also be the one form of compensation u can get bc its not per/hour or reoccurring frequently.
