Common questions

Can 9th graders apply to these internships?

Yes. Each of the 102 internships here accepts 9th grade by its own grade range, or sets no grade limit. Many also limit where you live or which school you attend, so read the listing before you apply.

Do these internships cost money?

None of the 102 listed here state a tuition or required fee on the organization's own page.

How do I apply?

Each listing is run by its own organization and you apply on that organization's site. A free Nichable account shows each listing's deadline and how to apply, and lets you save and track them.
