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, and administered by the American
Association of Teachers of Japanese. Since 1999, the Bridging Scholarship
program has awarded more than 1,250 scholarships to students studying abroad in
Japan.
The deadline for applications for the Fall 2013 semester
or the 2013-14 academic year is April 8, 2013. Applicants will be notified of
the results by May 30. Selection will be based on academic potential and
financial need. (Students studying in Japan during only the Spring 2014
semester should wait until fall of 2013 to apply.)
In addition, Morgan Stanley Japan will award two $7,500
scholarships to undergraduate students who will be studying abroad in Japan
during the 2013-2014 academic year. Applicants must submit an essay on one of
several designated public-policy topics together with an application for the
Bridging Scholarship program.
Information on the Bridging and Morgan Stanley
scholarships and online application forms are available at ATJ's Web site: http://www.aatj.org/atj/studyabroad/scholarships.html.
Printed application brochures are also available upon request, or they can be
downloaded from the website.
