The Gabelli Winternship Honors program provides seniors the ability to work full-time during the first ten (10) weeks of their spring semester. Internship positions would be secured directly between the student and a participating firm with the support and guidance of our Personal and Professional Development (PPD) Center and Dean’s office.  Furthermore, students will enroll in courses designed specifically with offerings on accelerated hybrid platforms to accommodate a full-time work commitment.  Additionally, the program offers students the ability to take graduate courses at no additional tuition cost that would count towards the Masters in Accounting or Taxation program at the Gabelli School of Business.  Students are also eligible for scholarship consideration as part of a 4+1 program. Considering all the benefits --  the Gabelli Winternship Program is a “Win Win” for everyone!

We are excited that Fordham students will be able to have a great learning experience, while helping out during busy season

FAQ's

1. What is the deadline to apply to the GWP?
   Enrollment is on a rolling basis. However, since specific GWP classes are offered in the Spring semester, students are encouraged to communicate with their Dean, as soon as possible, to ensure they are well positioned to participate. 
2. Do students secure their own internship position?
   Yes, students apply and interview with participating firms with the support of Gabelli resources and secure a position. Decisions regarding hiring, full time offers and salary are between the student and the firm. Students are encouraged and expected to coordinate their efforts with Gabelli’s Personal and Professional Development Center (PPD).
3. If a student has secured a summer internship, can the student also accept a winter internship through the GWP?
   Hiring decisions and policies are between the student and the firm. If a participating firm is willing to offer a student two internship positions, the student is required to communicate the multiple offers to PPD and the Program’s Director.
4. Can a student enroll in the GWP and enroll in graduate courses at Gabelli MS Accounting or MS Taxation to “jump start” a graduate degree?  
   YES! Gabelli undergraduate students can enroll in ONE graduate course in the fall of their senior year and up to FOUR graduate courses in the spring of their senior year. Ultimately, a student can complete FIVE graduate courses while still an undergraduate, leaving only five (5) courses to complete both a masters and a certificate.
5. Are students participating in GWP eligible for a merit scholarship for a master's program?
   Yes. Students interested in applying to the graduate school are encouraged to communicate directly with our admission's office for details and to schedule a meeting.
6. Is there an application form a student can complete and submit to declare interest in this Program?
   Yes. Students must complete the Gabelli Graduate admissions application and check-off the box that they are interested in the Winternship program.
7. If a student does not have an offer now, should the student complete the application to express interest?
   Absolutely! Completing the form enables optimal management of course offerings and also alerts both the dean’s office and PPD team that a student may need additional support.
8. Is there a fee to apply to the GWP?
   No.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Gabelli School to offer a platform of career discernment for their students, and are looking forward to the GSB interns’ contribution to Andersen.
