Meet our 2025 Summer Interns
Join us in officially welcoming our class of interns for 2025. We have the honor of working with 23 interns across Google Summer of Code, Code for GovTech, and Mifos Summer of Code. This year Google of Summer of Code is celebrating its 21st year and marks our 13th year of participation overall and 10th year directly as the Mifos Initiative with thirteen interns chosen. We selected six interns through C4GT as a participant for the second time in the Code for GovTech Dedicated Mentoring Program which is now entering its third year being led by Samagra Governance. This was our most selective year to date and due to the immensely high quality of candidates that applied, we offered up an additional four internship positions through Mifos Summer of Code to candidates we couldn’t accept through the other programs. We have a range of countries represented with India well represented, but also two interns from Egypt, an intern from Cameroon as well as Uganda, an intern from Myanmar, and interns from Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
Across all the programs the evaluation and selection process was very intensive; for the Google Summer of Code program as a whole, 1,272 contributors were accepted from the 23,559 applications received, their highest total in 21 years, more than 2.5x the previous record. For Mifos alone we received 209 proposals from which we were granted 13 slots yielding an acceptance rate of only 6%. Similarly, for Code for GovTech their program had 8700 proposals from 4200 applicants from which we selected 6 interns from a pool of 197 applicants.
