Important
The only curated opportunity list built exclusively for college freshmen & sophomores (Class of 2028–2030). Most internship boards ignore you until junior year. This one doesn't.
Hi, I'm Jose Cruz. I built this because I couldn't find a single resource that actually spoke to freshmen and sophomores — every list assumed you already had experience, already knew companies, already knew where to look. This one starts from zero.
Internships, fellowships, research programs, scholarships, summits — everything here is specifically designed for first and second-year students. No experience required. No junior-year gatekeeping.
This is community-driven. If you find something, add it. Together we make the path clearer for everyone who comes after us.
To contribute — it takes 60 seconds:
- Open an issue and paste the opportunity URL
- A maintainer approves it — details are auto-extracted from the page
- A maintainer adds it to the list
Warning
This list is exclusively for underclassmen-targeted programs (freshmen/sophomore focus). For general internships open to all years, see Summer2026-Internships.
