Trinity Alumni Spring Week Internship Bursary
The Trinity Alumni Spring Week Internship Bursary was created in 2016 to support costs for talented undergraduate students who secure Spring Week internships with leading professional services firms. This bursary is open to Senior Fresh students of any discipline and is financed by Trinity alumni donors.
Eligibility and Bursary details
Students in their Senior Fresh year in any discipline who successfully secure a Spring Week internship with a professional services firm or equivalent may be eligible. Last year our bursary recipients completed internships with Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and the Guardian. Please note that company internship deadlines can be as early as November.
All of the Spring Week internship vacancies are advertised on MyCareer. You can log in and navigate to Opportunities - Spring Internship Programme.
Each bursary recipient will receive €1,000 to cover items such as accommodation/transport/meals for the week.
