Japanese Summer Language Study Scholarship for 2026
A limited number of $1,000 scholarships will be awarded on the basis of merit to students who take JAPN101 and/or 102 in Summer 2026. You do not need to take both courses to qualify for a scholarship, but students who register for both will be given priority.
NOTE: You must complete each course with a C- or better in order to receive a scholarship, which will be awarded upon completion of the class(es).
Eligibility
- (a) Students who have taken UMD’s online World Language Placement Assessment (WLP) and have been placed either in JAPN101 or 102, or students who have completed JAPN101 at UM with a grade of C- or better and wish to take JAPN102.
- (b) You do not have to be student at UM to be eligible to apply, but UM Japanese majors and minors will be given priority for funding if there are multiple applications.
- (c) Funds will not be disbursed until after completion of the course, so you will need to register and pay tuition up front.
Application process
Complete the application form and submit it by Thursday, May 21. You will be notified of the
results no later than June 1.
