Here are two amazing opportunities starting (10 September). 

1. For Girl students : Outreachy Internship winter round applications open today at 9.30pm IST

Outreachy provides three-month internships for people from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech. Interns are paid a stipend of $5,500 and have a $500 travel stipend available to them. Interns work remotely with mentors from Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities on projects ranging from programming, user experience, documentation, illustration and graphical design, to data science.
