Chase Internship 2027–2028: Programs, Deadlines & How to Apply

Last updated: November 2026

Chase's summer 2027 internships are open right now, and the clock is short. The Chase Leadership Development Program (CLDP) Summer Analyst lists a deadline of December 1, 2026, for its Columbus, Plano and Wilmington roles, and the Focused Analytics Solutions Team (FAST) internship closes on November 20, 2026. On November 10, 2026, JPMorganChase's job board carried six live US student requisitions in Consumer & Community Banking, the business that runs Chase. Offers are already going out, and the postings say programs close as positions are filled. In plain words: you apply during 2026, you intern in summer 2027.

Quick Facts

The row that matters most: the CLDP summer analyst deadline is December 1, 2026, and reviews are rolling, so a November application beats a late one.

Externships are short, remote programs where you finish a real project for a real company. Most run 8 weeks at 5 to 10 hours a week. The BeReal Product Management Externship practices the product lifecycle work CLDP and CAP interns do, and the Reggie Stephens Foundation AI Strategy Consulting Externship builds the strategy and AI skills the postings ask for.

What Is a Chase Internship?

A Chase internship is a paid summer program in Consumer & Community Banking, the JPMorganChase business that serves Chase customers through cards, consumer banking, home lending, auto and business banking. The flagship is the Chase Leadership Development Program (CLDP) Summer Analyst, a 9-week program where interns support a business unit such as Card Services, Consumer Banking or Home Lending. MBA and master's students apply to the Chase Associate Program (CAP). Chase has no separate careers site: every role is posted on JPMorganChase's board. This page covers only the Chase programs. Investment banking, markets and software engineering internships are in our JPMorgan internship guide. In its own postings, Chase says it serves "nearly half of America's households and small businesses."

When Do Chase Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

The summer 2027 Chase requisitions went up on July 7 to 9, 2026, about 11 months before a typical June start (Chase doesn't publish start dates). Applicants describe HireVue invitations over the summer, New York superdays in September and offers from late September onward, with a Delaware offer reported on November 3, 2026. The remaining deadlines run from November 20, 2026 to January 16, 2027. If the calendar repeats, applications for summer 2028 are expected to open around July 2027.

How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.

Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open

Chase's evidence points to a rolling process with dates attached, so both matter. Every posting we read says applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and that programs close as positions are filled. That's already happening: the New York CLDP summer track has dropped off the board, applicants reported a New York verbal offer in late September 2026, and a Delaware offer came on November 3. The CLDP posting also asks you to finish the HireVue within three days of receiving it. If you're eligible for CLDP, apply well before December 1. If you're an MBA or master's student eyeing FAST, you have until November 20.

Which Chase Internship Programs Should You Target?

All six programs below are live today on JPMorganChase's board under Consumer & Community Banking. CLDP and CAP carry the Chase name; the other three are CCB programs.

The program page notes it only shows locations where a program is currently open. Check the CLDP Summer Analyst page for the current list.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

These come from the summer 2027 postings on JPMorganChase's board, read on November 10, 2026.

• Class year (CLDP): pursuing a B.A., B.S., or 5th-year M.A. or M.S. with expected graduation between December 2027 and June 2028.

• Class year (CAP): pursuing an MBA or master's degree, graduating December 2027 to June 2028, with at least 3 years of professional experience.

• GPA: CLDP lists a minimum 3.2 out of 4.0 under preferred qualifications.

• Work authorization: CLDP and CAP require U.S. work authorization, offer no employment-based immigration sponsorship and won't sign OPT or CPT paperwork. We didn't confirm the wording for Risk Modeling, FAST or FADP.

• Location preference: you state it in the application.

Is the 3.2 GPA a Hard Cutoff?

No, not as written. The CLDP posting puts the 3.2 under preferred qualifications, not required ones. Below 3.2, you can still apply, but your resume has to carry more weight: leadership roles, project results and clear answers to why Chase. The graduation window, by contrast, reads as the program's target class, so check it before you apply.

What Skills Does Chase Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

We read the four distinct summer 2027 descriptions in full (CLDP, CAP, Risk Modeling and FAST; the two CAP reqs share one text). Three groups stand out. Analysis: CLDP asks interns to use data analytics to measure operational effectiveness, and FAST and Risk Modeling name SQL and Python. Building: CLDP and CAP both ask interns to "design, build, and deploy AI-enabled solutions to automate workflows" and to drive product development through its lifecycle. Working style: communication, problem solving and cross-team work appear in all four, and CLDP asks for proficiency in Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

Build These Skills Before You Apply

Each skill below is quoted from a summer 2027 posting and maps to a remote Externship you can start in late November.

All four cohorts start live sessions on November 30 or December 7, 2026, so you can apply to Chase first and build the project while you wait for a reply.

What Is the Chase Application and Interview Process Like?

The postings describe the first steps; applicants on Reddit fill in the rest.

1. Apply online with your resume and your location preference on JPMorganChase's board.

2. HireVue video interview. If you meet the minimum criteria, you get an emailed HireVue. The posting calls it required and strongly encourages finishing it within three days.

3. Wait for review. Applicants in 2026 reported two weeks or more at "under review" after the HireVue, and one reply said interviews start in the fall.

4. Superday. Applicants describe behavioral interviews: why JPMorganChase, why CLDP, leadership examples and questions from your resume. New York superdays ran in September 2026, while Delaware, Texas and Ohio candidates were still at the HireVue stage.

5. Offer. Offers arrive on a rolling basis, often by phone. Applicants in 2024 reported hearing about 2 to 3 weeks after a superday.

JPMorganChase doesn't publish interview questions, class sizes or an acceptance rate for these programs.

What Students on Reddit Say

Most CLDP threads are about the interview format and the wait. These are lightly paraphrased from threads we read in full.

How Do You Stand Out for a Chase Internship?

First, apply early and finish the HireVue fast. Reviews are rolling, a whole location has already dropped off the board, and the posting asks for the video interview within three days. Second, prepare a sharp "why Chase, why CLDP" answer grounded in the consumer business: cards, deposits, home lending, auto. Applicants say the superday leans on exactly that. Third, bring one concrete project that matches a posting line, such as a product test you ran, an analysis in SQL or Excel, or a small AI workflow you automated. JPMorganChase doesn't publish a class size or a conversion rate for these programs, so there's no applicant number to benchmark against.

FAQ

Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Chase internship?

No. The summer 2026 Chase programs have finished, and nothing for that summer is open. The cycle open right now is summer 2027: FAST closes November 20, 2026, the CLDP Summer Analyst closes December 1, 2026, and the Chase Associate Program closes January 16, 2027. Reviews are rolling, so apply soon.

When is the Chase Leadership Development Program deadline?

December 1, 2026, for the summer 2027 CLDP Summer Analyst in Columbus, Plano and Wilmington, per the program page and the posting. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and the program can close once seats fill. The New York CLDP summer track is no longer listed for 2027.

Are Chase internships paid?

Yes, they are paid summer roles. Posted base pay is $145,000 a year for the Chase Associate Program in New York, $135,000 to $155,000 for CCB Risk Modeling and $135,000 for FAST in New York. CLDP pay isn't published on JPMorganChase's own pages, so check your offer letter.

Does Chase sponsor visas or OPT/CPT for interns?

Not for CLDP or the Chase Associate Program. Both postings say you must already be authorized to work in the US, that there's no employment-based immigration sponsorship, and that the firm won't sign OPT or CPT paperwork. We didn't confirm the wording for Risk Modeling, FAST or the Financial Advisor Development Program.

What is the CLDP interview process?

You apply online, then get an emailed HireVue video interview if you meet the minimum criteria; the posting asks you to finish it within three days. Applicants describe a behavioral superday next, focused on why JPMorganChase, why CLDP, leadership and your resume. Offers arrive on a rolling basis, often by phone.

Do Chase interns get full-time offers?

They can. The CLDP posting says completing the summer program may lead to an offer into the 2-year full-time CLDP rotational program, and CAP interns may get an offer into the full-time Chase Associate Program. JPMorganChase doesn't publish a conversion rate, so treat a return offer as possible, not automatic.

Is a Chase bank teller or branch job an internship?

No. Branch, teller and other hourly roles you see on job sites under "Chase bank internship" are regular jobs, and their hourly pay doesn't describe the summer programs. Chase internships are the CLDP, the Chase Associate Program and the other Consumer & Community Banking summer programs posted on JPMorganChase's board.

When will Chase post summer 2028 internships?

Chase hasn't announced it. The summer 2027 postings went up on July 7 to 9, 2026, so applications for summer 2028 are expected to open around July 2027 if the calendar repeats. Create a profile on JPMorganChase's board and set alerts so you see the postings the week they appear.

If you're eligible, apply to Chase this month: FAST closes November 20 and CLDP December 1. While you wait for a reply, a remote Externship gives you a finished product, data or strategy project to bring to your superday.
