DMRS’ Legal internships are a great way for students and recent graduates to learn more about immigration issues and gain valuable experience in their area of interest. The time commitment required for interns is flexible and depends on the needs of the intern, DMRS, and the interns’ college, university, or other program. All internships are unpaid unless otherwise specified. However, should you be eligible for external funding from your university or other source, DMRS will be happy to support your application and provide any assistance needed to secure funding.
