Internships (Summer)
Deadline: March 1, annually

Students applying for Trunzo support for an internship during the summer should complete the application in Scholarship Universe.

Study Abroad 
Deadline: March 1, annually

Students who want to apply for the Trunzo to support study abroad should complete the A&S Study Abroad Application. You can access the application here. The application is located near the bottom of the page under Scholarships.

Note: The student does not have to have completed the desired internship or been accepted to the education abroad program at the time they apply for the scholarship. Receipt of the scholarship is contingent on a formal letter of acceptance for an internship or education abroad program.

Students who are awarded the Trunzo are required to complete post-internship and study abroad reporting.

The scholarship is funded by a generous gift from Robert ’78 and Anne Trunzo.
