Academic Comments Off on 2014 JETAANorthern California Scholarship Application

Saw this posted to the JETAA Northern California LinkedIn group. I know none of you are high school students, but maybe you know someone or have kids who might be interested.

Context: JETAANC set this scholarship up a number of years ago. They’re the only chapter to offer something like this, which is really terrific since promoting study of Japan is a great example of Return On JET-vestment.
