What Lydia said, and:

Please have a look at the current Junior Jobs, as it will improve your
chances to get accepted as a student if the team already knows you and
your work and code.

>From the discussions we had so far it is rather unlikely that a
student will get accepted without previous work and involvement in
KDE.
