Every gift is Jumbo!
2026-2027 Theme: Internships
For nearly 25 years, Tufts students in the Entrepreneurship Minor have learned the entrepreneurial method by doing, and internships at startups, small businesses, and nonprofits are one of the best ways to do it. Many of these roles are unpaid, so with the Career Center we offer Entrepreneurial Internship grants: $5,000 funds one student’s summer, 300 hours alongside practicing innovators and entrepreneurs.
The program works, and we’re ready to scale it. As the Minor turns 25 in 2027, we are raising funds for 50 more paid internships over the next five years through the 25th Anniversary Entrepreneurial Internship Fund.
Every gift, whatever its size, helps a student learn by doing in an entrepreneurial internship.
“Without this grant, I would never have had the chance to work on such a unique product.”
Ronan, intern at Ganance, founded by Alex Ocampo, A14
