Scholarship offers will include on-campus and online programs within AU’s School of Education. Details available at this link.
  • Carnegie Mellon Heinz College - Carnegie Mellon University, Heinz College, through its partnership with JETAA, offers a scholarship for JET alumni that guarantees 30% off tuition with the possibility of additional support for qualifying students in their master’s degree programs in Information Systems and Management, Public Policy and Management, and Arts & Entertainment Industry Management.

See their website for details: https://graduate.sit.edu/academics/affiliations/jet-programme/
  • Syracuse University Maxwell School - The Maxwell PAIA – JET Alumni Scholarship covers at least 30% of the tuition costs of a single- or dual-degree course of study in Maxwell’s Master of Public Administration or Master of Arts in International Relations on-campus programs. The offer includes the option to defer admission for one year and to be considered for further merit-based aid based on the strength of the application for admission
  • Williamette University - Thanks to a partnership with AJET, JET Program alumni are eligible to receive a minimum $5,000 scholarship if they choose to pursue an MBA in Williamette’s Early Career and Career Change MBA Program. Willamette University’s MBA Programs are specifically designed to prepare students for their first professional career position, career change, or advancement. Simply indicate on your application, and in your admissions interview that you are JET alumni.

Other Programs

  • JAIMS: East-West Knowledge Leaders Program (EWKLP) - The EWKLP is a three-month certificate management program that provides continued education for experienced business professionals and serves as a primer for those launching careers in international business. Fujitsu Scholarship - JET returnees who are Hawaii residents with a bachelor’s degree and at least three years of full-time work experience are eligible to apply. The scholarship covers the tuition for the East-West Knowledge Leaders Program (EWKLP) in Honolulu and a one-week study trip to Tokyo. Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Scholarship - JET returnees who enroll in the EWKLP automatically receive a $2000 for the tuition in the East-West Knowledge Leaders Program.

Other Graduate Schools with Scholarships (not JET specific)

  • Kyoto University of Advanced Science - KUAS  engineering programs are taught entirely in English and supplemented with intensive Japanese language courses. Master's and doctoral program students at KUAS effectively "double major" in engineering and Japanese. A JET alum with a background in STEM and some pre-existing knowledge of Japanese can, with sufficient effort, emerge from these programs as an engineer with the technical, professional, cultural, and linguistic fluency that major Japanese tech companies demand.
