Verification notes
Primary-source checked on 2026-09-05 UTC. The official SINAC internship page states the student/recent-graduate eligibility, institutional-agreement requirement, project-alignment requirement and listed internship areas. It does not state a universal closing date, stipend or fixed duration, so those facts are not invented.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
