Early Application Deadlines
Although our staff will ensure that you have an internship related to your professional field if you submit your materials by our regular deadline and are accepted, you should be aware that certain sites have internal deadlines that fall before TWC’s. Some of these organizations, particularly those related to law enforcement, select interns early so that they can process security clearance paperwork. Others request additional application materials beyond those you have prepared for TWC.
Below we’ve listed the names of some of these internship sites and the approximate dates by which we tend to require applications in order to work through our admissions process and get you in position to be considered at each site. The list is not exhaustive and you may also wish to confirm deadlines directly on organizations’ websites. If you’ve missed the deadline for an organization in which you were interested, we still encourage you to submit your TWC application. Sometimes openings may still be available at these sites for late applicants—or you may find that other organizations offer similar opportunities. Throughout the internship selection process, you’ll learn about options from your TWC advisor. We work with hundreds of organizations that select students after TWC’s regular deadline!
Please note that internships at the sites below may be available only to degree-seeking students and may not be open to quarter students.
