Fully Funded. Independent. Life Changing.

The Summer in South Asia (SiSA) Fellowship is a program run by the University of Michigan’s Center for South Asian Studies to provide fully-funded opportunities for undergraduate students to complete an internship or conduct independent research projects in India.

SiSA Fellows have focused on a wide variety of topics related to their academic degrees and/or areas of personal interest. Past SiSA Fellows have built solar panels with community members in a rural area, worked on a Bollywood movie set, and served in a rural healthcare NGO. Participating in this fellowship provides students with invaluable international experiences that are transformative and leave a lasting personal, academic, and professional impact on their lives.  

While there, this year’s fellows will be blogging to keep their friends, family, and CSAS staff members up-to-date on their travels and adventures. You can read their blogs here and follow along with their work and travel experiences in India. Happy reading!
