Preference will be given to qualified rising senior students, where appropriate. Successful applicants will be invited to indicate their preference of internships available for summer 2023. Most host partners may interview interested applicants before a placement is offered. It is possible that successful applicants may exceed the number of internships available and students who have not been placed in the first round will be able to apply for any internships that come up late in the spring.
