* Discovery Internships NYC and London are for students age 16-18 at the time of participation due to the age requirements of our housing providers. We will accept an outstanding 15 year old into our Boston, Chicago, or Los Angeles programs.
Am I eligible for Discovery Internships?
If you are a high school student that will be age 15-18 this summer then you are eligible for Discovery Internships. Most participants are rising high school seniors (completed junior year), however we also receive many applications from rising juniors. Students that have completed their senior year are also eligible provided they are under 19. Our housing providers in our NYC and London programs require that students are at least 16 years old at the time of participation. However, we are able to accept 15 year olds into our internship programs in Boston, Chicago, or Los Angeles. Please contact us for more information if you have questions concerning eligibility requirements.
Will I be accepted into Discovery Internships?
When making our acceptance decisions we look for students who can demonstrate sufficient maturity and motivation to enter a professional work environment. Students do not necessarily need to have outstanding grades or previous work experience to gain acceptance. Most students have not done a previous professional internship. Certain internship opportunities, however, do require familiarity with relevant technology or other advanced skills, but in general this is rare. However, students who have a portfolio, advanced computer skills, prior professional experience, or other unique or extraordinary skills may have additional opportunities available to them that might otherwise not be.
