“Our Scholarship has been renamed  Uma Sathnur – FIT Scholarship  in memory of our Executive Secretary who passed away in the Himalayan floods in June 2013”.

 Our annual conference is well established over the years and has now become a truly international event with delegates from around the world. The conference is run by the Foundation for International Taxation (FIT), which is a not-for-profit educational charitable foundation registered in India to promote the knowledge and practice of international taxation.

In 2011, we started our high level specialist courses in international taxation in India. In February 2011, we ran our first e-training course using video training facilities with professors from the prestigious Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law in Vienna (http://www.international-tax-law.at/). We also received an offer from them for us to launch a scholarship scheme for one Indian student selected by us for admission to their "one year" LLM Program in International Taxation. This Institute is one of the few leading centres for advance learning of international taxation in the world and the entry to their one-year programme is highly competitive. The course is a very intensive course and lasts for nine to ten months (September to June) in Vienna, Austria.

The Foundation launched its "FIT Scholarship Scheme “in 2011. Under this scheme the Foundation will select an Indian national every year as a "FIT Scholar" through a competitive public search and pay the annual tuition fees of the Institute for one year (approximately EUR 14,000 or approx. Rs 10,00,000) as a scholarship to the selected candidate. The scheme is open to all Indians without any discrimination and will be based purely on merit and the ability to handle successfully the high standards and intensive pressure of the one-year Masters programme in Vienna. Besides the guaranteed admission and the annual tuition fee, the Foundation is unable to fund or reimburse any travel or stay expenses.
