About JASWDC Tanaka & Green Scholarship
In 2014, JASWDC established the Tanaka and Green Academic Scholarships to support short-term academic study (one semester or one academic year) at colleges and universities in Japan. The scholarships are made possible thanks to the Marshal and Lispenard Green Educational Endowment and gifts from the William H., Lily, and Michelle Tanaka family. The Tanaka & Green Scholarship is an annual academic scholarship supporting short-term study abroad in Japan for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students.
Benefits of JASWDC Tanaka & Green Scholarship
- Payment will be made in two allotments. An initial payment of up to $3,000 (one semester) or up to $4,000 (one academic year) will be made before the academic study in Japan commences (or within 30 days after the awardees are notified).
