HackNY Internship Program: Rolling admission deadlines are Oct 18, Nov 22, and Dec 30 with notification by Feb 2021. The program itself runs May 27 2021 to August 2 2021.The 2021 HackNY fellowship is open to all undergraduate college students who will be graduating in 2021 - 2023. A brief summary: hackNY plays matchmaker to find a company relevant to student's listed career goals. The company pays the intern a stipend, provides free housing (pandemic permitting) and a series of informative talks from influential technologists.
** Note if you are on a F1 Visa you will likely need to file CPT Authorization to be eligible for these positions - this will require that this research expereince fulfills a class requirement, e.g. independent study with a supervisor. Talk to a faculty advisor about this option well in advance of deadlines.
