CASI Student Programs - Special Announcement for Penn Students & Recent Graduates

This year, we are announcing the first CASI post-baccalaureate fellowship, The Sobti Family Fellowship, to support a recent Penn graduate to conduct an independent research project in India. Eligible applicants must have completed a Bachelor’s degree from any of Penn’s four undergraduate schools between May 2012 and May 2014.

Check the CASI Facebook Page for additional “Chai Chat” dates and timings.
