Bridging Scholarships for Study in Japan

The Bridging Scholarships for Study in Japan are sponsored by the Association of Teachers of Japanese and provide scholarship assistance to qualified students for study at eligible programs in Japan. The scholarships offer $2,500 for a semester of study or $4,000 for an academic year. Undergraduate students majoring in any field of study are eligible to apply, and Japanese language study is not a prerequisite. The program is designed to support U.S. citizen undergraduate students who wish to study abroad in Japan for at least three months while earning transferable credit to their home campus in the United States.
