Any student who identifies as a woman and an underrepresented minority is eligible to apply to both internships.
Break Through Tech Winternships/Sprinternships - The Winternship, a paid, three-week, mini-internship experience during the January academic recess, is an innovative program that creates a new pathway into those coveted summer internships.
