Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship & College Internship Pathway

Apply as a high-school senior for need-based college scholarship support and a later paid Amazon software-engineering internship during college. Interns join software teams with a manager and technical mentors, working on customer-facing projects such as AWS, seller logistics or retail platforms; many ship production code. This is not immediate high-school employment or a high-school summer research placement.
