Trinity University has long supported hands-on experiences for our students.
To further invest in Trinity students, the Moody Foundation has launched the Trinity University Moody Opportunity Match, a $1 million effort to create a permanent, endowed base of support for hands-on learning — ensuring that financial barriers never prevent students from participating fully in the opportunities that define a Trinity education.
OPPORTUNITY FUNDS
Hands-on learning activates Trinity students.
We will ensure that every student connects academic rigor to real-world impact.
Experiential learning connects classroom knowledge with real-world experience. Through research, internships, study away, and fieldwork, Trinity students build practical skills, deepen their understanding, and gain the confidence employers value most.
We will create student experiences that prime them for their futures.
Opportunity Funds give students access to internships, research, and global learning experiences that shape their future. These opportunities build skills, strengthen résumés, and prepare graduates to succeed in competitive careers and graduate program
We will immerse our students in San Antonio, our nation, and the world.
With Opportunity Funds, Trinity students gain hands-on experience while making meaningful contributions to organizations worldwide. These experiences build leadership, clarify career goals, and create lasting value for both students and their community partners.
