About the Internship
The CJ Saraceno Memorial Scholarship and internship provides financial support and invaluable experiences, enabling ambitious and creative Tufts students to pursue work opportunities in Los Angeles, make professional connections in the industry, and learn more about the multi-faceted work involved in producing scripted projects. Each summer, one student is selected from a pool of applicants to intern at Bona Fide Productions, the award-winning company behind Little Miss Sunshine, Nebraska, Somewhere in Queens, and many other films and projects, including the HBO series The Leftovers.
This internship was established in memory of CJ Saraceno, A11, a passionate creator who challenged the status quo. The scholarship is funded by alumni, friends, and family members who cared about CJ – as well as those who were inspired by him.
