The scholarship will be applied to a student’s second term of study with SIT. The scholarship is $1,000 for a fall or spring semester program or $500 for a full-term, international summer program. Information about SIT scholarships and other financial aid can be found on our website at https://studyabroad.sit.edu/scholarships.
