Which quant prop shops/ hedge funds offer summer internships?

I'm a rising junior at a target for quant work, and I'm looking to apply to proprietary trading firms and quant hedge funds in Chicago and NYC. I have a list of some places I'm interested in (in no particular order): 1. Jane Street 2. Old Mission 3. Five Rings Capital 4. Two Sigma 5. Citadel 6. DE Shaw 7. DRW 8. Jump 9. Virtu 10. Teza 11. Tower 12. SIG 13. Spot 14. TransMarket 15. Optiver 16. First New York 17. CTC 18. Belvedere 19. Akuna 20. 3Red Partners 21. Wolverine 22. IMC 23. Hudson River

Among a few others.

I'm sure that only a minority of these companies offer summer internships. Is it worth it to send an email to HR even if no internships are being advertised? For example, in the case of Teza, which I understand is a very reputable company, there doesn't seem to be any mention of internships despite the fact that I know they've taken undergrads before.

Any recommendations?

I have, but some of them don't appear to offer them. However, there are some that I know offer internships but don't make any large effort to advertise them (for whatever reason).
