HII, a Fortune 500 company and the largest military shipbuilder in the U.S., is accepting applications for its 2026 summer internship program.

Interested students can apply online for internships at HII’s corporate office or its three divisions: Ingalls Shipbuilding, Mission Technologies and Newport News Shipbuilding.

Each year, HII hosts more than 350 interns from across the nation. During the paid summer internship, interns work full-time (40 hours a week) for 10 consecutive weeks. In addition to competitive pay and possible consideration for future employment, housing assistance and transportation may be available in select locations during the internship.

To qualify for HII internships, students must be 18 years or older; a U.S. citizen; have a minimum 2.5 or 3.0 grade point average (depending on division); and be enrolled in one of the following: a four-year college or university, 2+2 program, master’s degree, or doctorate degree program.

Early applications are advised, as positions are limited and highly competitive.

The deadline for applications varies based on the divisions, with the exception of applications for the Mission Technologies division—those positions are posted on a rolling basis throughout the year.
