Transforming Futures: Internship Scholarship
The Institute for Social Transformation is excited to offer an internship scholarship program called Transforming Futures. The goal of the program is to open up opportunities and remove financial barriers for first-generation, underrepresented, undocumented, and low-income students at UC Santa Cruz so they can participate in career-advancing summer internships off campus.
Scholarships up to $8,000, depending on financial need
Applications due May 1, 2025
