The committee welcomes applications from graduating seniors who can demonstrate a mature commitment to a career related to Japan. Graduate students, except those who have received professional degrees in law or business, should be active candidates for an advanced degree. Those who have already established careers and who wish to increase their proficiency in Japanese are asked to consider the Professional Program described in a later section of this brochure. U.S.A. Completed applications must be received by January 15. Tuition payment is made directly to Stanford University through the Inter-University Center administrative office on the Stanford campus.
Fees are subject to change.
In addition to attendance fees, medical insurance, and transportation costs, students must defray their living expenses in Japan. The Center distributes fellowship funds provided by the Japan Foundation, the College Women's Association of Japan, the Shoyu Club, the United States Department of Education Group Projects Abroad, and by the universities represented on the Inter-University Committee. Recipients of the Japan Foundation, College Women's Association, and Shoyu Club fellowships are responsible for paying their own transportation to and from Japan. The conditions and perquisites of these fellowships are subject to change. The Department of Education, the granting agency, permits students holding these fellowships to attend the Center.
