Thomas Munson Foundation

The Thomas Munson Foundation Scholarship Fund, Inc., termed “The Fund,” is a separate non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, and maintains a scholarship endowment which is sustained by tax-exempt contributions from members and non-members, interest on endowment investments, and willed bequests. Members of the Thomas Munson Foundation are also members of The Fund. Each year up to three internship stipends are awarded to selected applicants who meet the criteria, which include tracing their ancestry to Thomas Munson or any of the other signatories to the Fundamental Agreement at New Have, Connecticut, dated 1639. The internship award funds can be used to cover expenses, such as room and board, incurred during an internship.
