Graal dev here. We have an internship program: https://www.graalvm.org/community/internship/

It's not uncommon to do a CS master Thesis as part of an internship, if your university allows that. We have plenty of topics to choose from and you can also come up with your own.

Good luck!

How hard is it to get accepted? I have written a toy JVM without a GC, only interpreter, but I don’t feel qualified, and I am afraid of blowing my chance (is there some limit on how often can one apply?). I’m working on adding a templated interpreter+GC version next, afterwards I might have a bit more confidence.

I'd ask people that know you and have experience in the field for a realistic opinion (maybe a professor/assistant/phd?). It does definitely not hurt to code all kinds of systems stuff. Try to tinker with some low-level optimization problems. You should be an excellent coder too. In our case it does help to know the JVM ecosystem, including HotSpot details.

And (shameless self plug), implement a Truffle language. Start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pksRrON5XfU&list=PLN193mR3Js...
