Upcoming Internships 2
Last time I came to you with three internships and one scholarship. Fortunately this time around there's a little more internships to share. That said, not all opportunities are in the US.
Even with that said, don't let it deter you. The following will either be general internships where you'll do a little bit of everything (some are from small businesses) or discipline specific. There are even some that will have more than one opening so feel free to tell your friends should you find a good match for them.
Also, though a no-brainer, please read every single requirement that is asked of you down to the letter. With a lot of these internships you will need a diverse yet functional portfolio that shows what you're capable of and it wouldn't hurt to have an interactive sample or few in the mix.
