We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and determine, in conjunction with our partners, any affects it may have on Summer 2021 internships. We are planning to have a full slate of internships, which are expected to be primarily in person, but might be remote/virtual as well, depending on the circumstances and how the COVID-19 situation evolves.

Where Does EBF Recruit?


We recruit across the country. Applicants are primarily considered for internships based on their permanent residence/hometown address, specifically where the student expects to reside during the summer. Please be sure to use your permanent residence/hometown address as your address on the application. You will be expected to have reliable transportation.

We are in major markets like New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Miami, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, but we also have openings in cities nationwide. The “primary city” question in the application lists many of the recent internship locations, and we are often expanding into new markets.
