The Japan campus of Temple University (TUJ) starts a new scholarship program for Ukrainian undergraduate students who have fled the country after the invasion by Russia.
TUJ is planning to provide study abroad scholarships and other financial assistance for up to 10 Ukrainian students. TUJ and its partners will cover tuition and fees while providing the Ukrainian students with airfare to Japan, a monthly stipend, and other logistical assistance. Uninest, one of TUJ’s valued housing partners, has offered to provide housing for Ukrainian students.
Accepted Ukrainian students will be able to earn regular academic credits while studying in English at Temple University Japan, and later transfer the credits back to their home institutions to help expedite and ensure the acquisition of a college degree.
Interested Ukrainian students can apply for this opportunity via a dedicated online scholarship application ( https://www.tuj.ac.jp/ukraine ). The priority application deadline is set for June 15, 2022. The scholarship including the housing and the stipend will be offered between August 2022 to July 2023, but the duration could be extended depending on the availability of funds.
TUJ Dean Matthew Wilson commented, “We are extremely excited to open the doors for Ukrainian college students to come to Japan and take classes in English at the Japan campus of a highly ranked and globally recognized American university. TUJ’s faculty, staff, students and supporters look forward to assisting Ukrainian students as they strive to overcome the devastation and atrocities occurring in Ukraine. We appreciate our partners and everyone looking to help Ukrainians in need.”
TUJ will simultaneously participate in a scholarship program for Ukrainian students in partnership with the Tokyo-based Pathways Japan, a non-governmental organization providing educational support for refugees, and the New York-based Japan ICU Foundation, an independent educational foundation affiliated with International Christian University. Dean Wilson is set to take part in a joint online media conference related to this program on June 7, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. (JST).
