September 28, 2008

Yoshi Hattori Memorial Scholarship (full year): This scholarship is designed to promote intercultural understanding and peace, and was created in memory of Yoshi Hattori, an AFS Exchange Student to the U.S. from Japan who was tragically killed in 1992.

Toshiyuki Tanaka/American Embassy Scholarship (full year)
This is a need- and merit-based scholarship awarded through the Pacific Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo and the generosity of Mr. Toshiyuki Tanaka.

Japan Scholarship Essays
Students may apply for either or both of these prestigious scholarships. Essays must be sent to scholarships@afs.org by October 3, 2008. Each essay should be submitted on a different page, and should not exceed one single-spaced, type-written page.

Essay Question #1: Required for both scholarships:
AFS Exchange Students are considered to be ambassadors of their countries while abroad. This is especially important for students who receive the high honor of being named a Yoshi Hattori Memorial Scholar or a Toshiyuki Tanaka Scholar. Please discuss how you would handle this responsibility, as well as your interest in Japan and Japanese culture.

Essay Question #2: Required only for the Yoshi Hattori Memorial Scholarship:
Do you believe gun control laws are important for peaceful coexistance? Why or why not? What is an individual’s responsibility toward achieving peaceful coexistance?

Further Scholarship: AFS programs to Japan.
