The JACL began its National Scholarship and Awards Program in 1946. In line with past generations of Japanese Americans, the JACL recognizes education as a key to greater opportunities for its members.
All scholarships are one-time awards.
Every applicant must be a National JACL member. Unlike previous years, parent membership will not meet this requirement. Student memberships are available. For more information about membership categories, please contact the JACL Membership Department at National Headquarters. Past recipients of JACL scholarships or awards are limited to a total of two awards.
