By the end of October, the application deadlines will have passed for the graduate scholarship for non-Japanese women to study in Japan (NJG), the graduate scholarship for Japanese women to study abroad and the Cartier scholarship (SA). The deadlines for the scholarships for the visually impaired (SVI) will close on November 9.
And so… scholarship selection begins!
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to join the selection committees. If you still would like to join the team, there are lots of ways to help the committee for a short time or a large commitment. Please contact us directly at scholarshipcommittee@cwaj.org. Scholarship has several opportunities to join as a one-time volunteer including hostess on interview days in February and March, and Translators (J to E) for the SVI applications in December.
