Summer Associate without work experience?

Hi, everyone!

I am currently considering pursuing a master's degree at a target school. This degree is a dream, but I am worried it may affect my chances of getting into IB.

I don't have much experience outside of academic activities (no summer internships, only undergraduate research roles that got me published in a few prestigious journals). 

I recently found out that the advanced degree in question would make me qualify for Summer Associate programs. Can one get into a Summer Associate program without experience but with a top, relevant degree?

Thank you all for the attention.
