   Photo by Man Kuan Lei, 2014 SISA Alumna 
TODAY! 

Information Session 

3:30 PM 

Room 1636 School of Social Work Building 

Learn more about how to apply for this independent, funded, and life changing opportunity!

Thanks to a generous donation to the Center for South Asian Studies, undergraduate students at UM have an opportunity to design and carry out their own fellowship programs in India during the summer. This fellowship is intended for non-graduating students who have not already spent significant amounts of time in India. The program is designed to be flexible: you research and choose the NGOs, tell us what you want to study, design a program to accomplish your goals, and we will fund the best and most unique proposals to cover most of your costs. 

For more information contact csas@umich.edu or the International Center's Education Abroad Coordinator, Audrey Buswellabuswell@umich.edu

See you there!


Peace Corps Applications! Due!
