The 68th Japan-America Student Conference Application Deadline (March 1st)

Initiated in 1934, the Japan-America Student Conference (JASC) has an 81-year history that includes a host of distinguished delegates, from former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, and president of Nissan Corporation Yutaka Katayama. As a delegate, along with 71 other student leaders from Japan and the U.S., you will be able to:

● delve into critical topics ranging from ethics in science to the efficacy of democracy,
● learn firsthand from established leaders and educational field trips as we travel to Boston, Washington D.C., Missoula, and San Francisco,
● build your professional network through networking receptions, and
● forge lifelong friendships across the Pacific.

As Japan-America Student conference seeks a diverse full delegation, we are actively encouraging students who are engineers and STEM-focused to apply for the 68th JASC. In this year’s JASC, we have a science and technology oriented roundtable (titled: Developing the Future through Science), which emphasizes cooperation between the two countries in this field and future developments.

The conference will be held from August 1 to August 24, 2016 and conducted entirely in English. No Japanese language or studies background is required.

The 68th Japan-America Student Conference deadline operates on a rolling admissions basis until March 1, 2016. We strongly encourage you to complete your application as soon as possible since we will accept qualified candidates on a rolling basis.
