🌎 A note to international + immigrant students
I know how frustrating it can be to find an amazing opportunity and then realize the eligibility doesn't work for your status or location.
But please don't let that convince you there's no place for you in tech.
Some programs are global. Some welcome international students enrolled at U.S. schools. Others are location-specific.
Look for the eligibility labels throughout Panther Opportunity Hub so you can focus your time on opportunities that actually fit you.
Your journey might look different. Different does not mean impossible. 💗
One application can change your semester. One project can change your résumé. One person you meet can change your career. Keep going — you got this :)
