20 Highest-paying internships for international students

Where we got our data

• These are internships posted on our site in the last twelve months (July 2022 - July 2023) that accept student visa holders. This means that not all jobs are currently live. For the most up-to-date internship postings, check our site.
• The average hourly rates below are derived from the annual salary ranges provided by employers. So if the range was $50k-$60k, we'd take the average ($55k) and then turn that into an hourly rate.
