About
The NYC Turing Fellows Program seeks to match top computer science and engineering students with outstanding summer internships at leading NYC startups. The program is supported by leading companies in media, technology, and venture capital.
NYC Turing Fellowships are awarded annually to top computer science, engineering, and mathematics students for paid summer internships with leading NYC startups. The fellowship presents summer internship opportunities for outstanding college students to live and work in New York City, develop their technical skills, benefit from mentorship, and pursue meaningful technology projects in the context of a fast-growing start-up company. The 18 fellows in the 2012 class were drawn from over hundreds of applicants from all of the top computer science programs throughout the country.
