BRATTLEBORO — SIT Graduate Institute announces three merit-based scholarships, including one for Vermonters.
School for International Training (SIT) is the accredited higher institution within the World Learning Inc. family, which also includes World Learning and The Experiment in International Living. SIT is composed of SIT Graduate Institute, SIT Study Abroad, and the International Honors Program.
Fields of study include climate change and global sustainability, conflict transformation and peace and justice leadership, international and global education, sustainable development, and teaching English as a second or foreign language (TESOL).
SIT Graduate Institute degrees provide the theory and practice needed to take on today's most critical global issues-whether students want to stay in their job and learn part-time or immerse themselves in one of SIT's full-time master's programs.
The first scholarship, the Vermonter, is an $8,000 award for applicants living in Vermont, the location of SIT since the early 1960's, when it was founded as a training center for Peace Corps inductees.
The Alumni Advantage is an $8,000 award for alumni of the Experiment in International Living or SIT Study Abroad programs, to enable alumni to continue their learning journey within the SIT and larger World Learning community.
The Northern Neighbors scholarship seeks to extend SIT's global opportunities to its neighbors throughout the Northeast of the United States. This $5,000 award is for applicants living elsewhere in New England or in New York state, neighbors to SIT's historic campus in Vermont, and it is focused on supporting globally minded citizens in these states.
All applicants with demonstrated qualifications will be automatically considered for an eligible SIT scholarship; no additional application is required. Qualified applicants may not receive more than one SIT scholarship.
