Greetings from the Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies (KCJS)! As we look forward to 2015, we wanted to send information regarding the KCJS programs, including application deadlines for the upcoming semester.

Summer Programs in Modern and Classical Japanese

The KCJS summer programs offer intensive training in intermediate and advanced Japanese and the rare opportunity to study classical Japanese. The programs are open to both undergraduates and graduate students. For summer 2015, the early decision deadline is January 30th, 2015. Students who apply by this deadline will receive an early decision and priority in housing arrangements. Late applications will be considered if space is available.

The KCJS Summer Programs Flyer (PDF) provides information about the programs that you can post in your department and share with interested colleagues and students.

KCJS and Alumni Scholarships

Students who demonstrate financial need may apply for scholarships through KCJS. Awards range from $500-$5000.
