The School for International Training (SIT) provides thought-provoking and challenging study abroad programs in India such as Indian art, culture, and the architecture of Himalayan Buddhist monasteries. Besides many general scholarships awarded through SIT, the Workum Fund provides specially designed scholarships for students engaged in studies in one of the SIT India programs. The scholarship, named in memory of a dedicated anthropologist who specialized in Indian studies, works hard to solicit applicants with similar pursuits and characteristics. Students applying for the Workum Fund must be passionate about studying in India. Awards also take academic merit and financial need into account and offer funds accordingly.
