Edify Professional Internship Program

Work with top startups and NGOs on real-world projects — or go further with a CEO mentor from a FAANG background. An 8-week internship experience built for ambitious students.

Program Overview

Real work experience, real mentorship

The Edify Professional Internship Program places students inside high-growth startups and mission-driven NGOs, working on meaningful projects with direct supervisor guidance over 8 weeks.

Work with Real Companies

Intern at startups and NGOs on projects aligned with your interests — marketing, coding, data analysis, research, and more.

CEO Mentorship Track

Our flagship track pairs you directly with a startup CEO from a FAANG (Facebook, Google, etc.) background for high-impact work.

8-Week Program

5–10 hours per week of structured work with weekly supervisor check-ins — manageable alongside school commitments.

Interest-Based Matching

You choose your area of interest — tech, finance, healthcare, social impact, and more — and are matched to a company accordingly.

Research Option

The Combination track adds a mentored research paper to the internship, ideal for students who want both work experience and academic depth.

Admissions Edge

Demonstrated professional experience and real project outcomes are among the most compelling additions to a college application.

Common questions

What kind of work will I be doing?

We provide a fully comprehensive, hands-on approach with unlimited communication available. However, for students who may benefit from additional support and guidance—particularly those who tend to be more passive in their engagement—we ensure regular check-ins at least bimonthly to monitor progress on their deliverables and maintain accountability.

Is this internship in-person or remote?

We maintain strict enrollment limits for each grade level to ensure quality service. While priorities and deliverables vary across different grade levels, we make every effort to ensure all goals are met for each student. When we reach full capacity, we create a waitlist to manage future admissions.

How is Edify involved?

Payment is required in full upfront. Refunds are not available after the third meeting, though we understand that unexpected circumstances may arise. We evaluate refund requests on a case-by-case basis when extenuating circumstances exist.

When is the application deadline?

All services are provided in-house to ensure consistently high-quality output. We do not subcontract any of our services to external providers.

Is the program selective?

We established our company in 2018 and have served hundreds of families throughout Silicon Valley. The majority of our clients are technology industry professionals who attended university outside the United States and seek guidance from experts familiar with the U.S. education system to help their children achieve their academic goals.
