Internships to apply for if looking to break into HF/Prop trading out of undergrad.

Hi there,
I'm a freshman at a target with a quant research internship at an HF lined up for this summer. I'm hoping to get a trading position after college. Because I'm still unsure if I want to necessarily be a quant… lol, besides the usual noteworthy prop shops, what other opportunities are available for trading, especially at hedge funds with a more fundamental approach to explore during my next summer/school year? As an example, I'm aware P72 has their academy, but are there similar opportunities at other funds?
Thank you so much!
