Is there an application process for this internship program? If so what is the process? (if you can apply online, include the link) Yes, there is a short application along with an interview.

Commute or relocate to the location of the internship – most roles based in Baltimore, MD.
Able to complete a 10-12 week internship between May 14, 2018
Why or why not? (Money, timing, location, etc.) I think it’s a realistic option for me because it’s within maryland, making it more accessible as well the UMD origins of the company itself.
