Japanese Exchange
Japanese
Exchange is a scholarship opportunity for FCCLA members to travel to
Japan for four-to-six weeks as an exchange student. This scholarship is
funded by the Kikkoman Corporation, administered by Youth For
Understanding USA. Scholarships are worth more than $6,995 each. |
The
FCCLA Japan Exchange Scholarship is administered by Youth For
Understanding USA (YFU USA), a non-profit international exchange
organization. Based on the premise that international understanding can
be achieved through individuals, the program emphasizes family living as
the core of the overseas learning experience. The opportunity to
experience the day-to-day life of another country and its people
enhances students' awareness of international issues.
