Who can apply?

  • Mars states that applicants are undergraduate sophomores or students with two years of school remaining.
  • The program page says Mars cannot sponsor visas for its Early Talent programs, so applicants need permanent work authorization for the country where they intern.
  • The current application route can include both a school job board and the Mars careers website; degree, location and any additional criteria must be checked in the live opening.
Easy to miss

The program is not a general first-year-through-senior internship; the sophomore or two-years-remaining condition is central to eligibility.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Use early-college evidence honestly: a course project, campus job, organization, lab or volunteer responsibility can show how you learn, collaborate and follow through.

Choose one or two of the named functions and explain what you want to understand there. A specific interest is stronger than claiming equal enthusiasm for every Mars pathway.
