Del.icio.usStudents looking to study abroad still have time to apply for the Bridging Scholarship program which is due April 6th. This program offers 50 scholarships to American students participating in study-abroad programs in Japan for the fall 2009 semester.
Recipients of Bridging Scholarships will receive stipends ranging from $2,500 to $4,000, depending on the length of their study program in Japan. The scholarships are funded by donations from U.S. corporations and foundations to the US-Japan Bridging Foundation. Since 1999, the Bridging Scholarship program has awarded 875 scholarships to students studying abroad in Japan. Most recently, 17 students from colleges and universities received scholarships for the Spring 2009 semester.
The deadline for applications is April 6, 2009. Applicants will be notified of the results by May 30. Selection will be based on academic potential and financial need. The scholarships are administered by the Association of Teachers of Japanese.
