2009 Implementation of ‘JAOS Overseas Study Scholarships for Outbound High School Students’ (funded by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology)
Announced by the Ministry on August 19, 2009 by press release
In order to promote overseas study by Japanese students, the Japanese government approved a special supplementary budget for 2009 that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will allocate to high school study abroad programs. JAOS members running high school exchanges and similar 1-year high school overseas programs can now offer scholarships of 500,000 yen to students who qualify based on academic merit, English ability and financial need. High schools running 1-year sister-school exchange programs will also be eligible to participate. For more details about this program (in Japanese), refer to the following links.
