The Bridging Project offers scholarships to American undergraduate students participating in study-abroad programs in Japan. Funding from private foundations and major U.S. corporations, through donations to the nonprofit US-Japan Bridging Foundation, makes it possible to award about 100 scholarships each year to assist students with the travel and living expenses they will incur while studying abroad in Japan for a semester or an academic year. Applications are accepted twice a year for Bridging Scholarships.

SPRING 2016 SCHOLARSHIPS

The next competition for Bridging Scholarships will be for students who will study in Japan beginning in Spring 2016. The deadline for applications is October 8, 2015. Please see “Instructions for Applicants” below.
