Arizona in India Study Abroad Scholarship

My name is Dr. Caleb Simmons, and I teach Hinduism and South Asian Religions at the University of Arizona. I’m raising money to help two of my students come with me to India for five weeks this summer.

Saundatti festival

Arizona in India will allow these students to study and experience the amazing, unique, and life-changing religious life and culture in India. We will provide students an opportunity to enrich their understanding of contemporary Indian religious traditions through firsthand encounters and interactions with people from the religions that we are studying. It will enhance students’ academic outlook and provide them with a better understanding of the world’s diversity.

Elephants outside the Mysore palace

Your gift today will open this opportunity to students whose financial background would otherwise prohibit their ability to join the program. Please help me raise $7,360 to cover the full cost of the program for two of my amazing students!
