Now, Bonners can access a special SIT-Bonner Scholarship that can dramatically reduce costs for an immersive study abroad semester in one of their 60 programs around the world. Each Study Abroad program features a unique Independent Study Project component, through which we have developed some projects and ideas for Bonners to continue their service and capacity-building internationally by plugging into SIT's network of strategic global partnerships.
