No. You must be on track to graduate between December 2027 and September 2028 to be eligible for the 2027 internship.
Q: What if I have other commitments or a part-time job?
Unfortunately, you cannot have any concurrent employment or internships. The World Bank requires your full-time commitment for the entire duration of the internship because they believe you’ll be most successful without outside distractions.

The internship is entirely in-person in Washington, DC. You must be available to work full-time at the World Bank offices for the entire 10 weeks (June 1–August 9). There is no remote option.

Possibly! Contact your college or university to ask if they award internship credit. The World Bank can provide written feedback and complete administrative forms to support your application for college credit in many cases.
