Keeping this list accurate

Program dates, eligibility and stipends change every cycle. If you spot something stale, a pull request takes two minutes.

Verify before you apply. Everything here is community-maintained and can fall out of date between cycles. Always confirm dates, stipend amounts and eligibility on the program's official website before submitting an application.

Add or update a program

Edit data/programs.yml and open a pull request. Include an official link that confirms the dates.
Report an outdated entry
