The word is out – finding internships and fellowships is all the craze. With the majority of internships being offered to college students, an early start to snag any internships offered to high school students is always well appreciated by college admission officers and worth the experience for your future self.

LinkedIn

There are many websites offering free guidance and available opportunities to high school students, but LinkedIn is one of the top apps for finding internships. After creating an account, one is able to write a bio detailing their experiences and what they are looking for (ex: internships). Ranging from experiences to awards, one can connect with people who share related interests with them, and build the foundation for searching for internships.
