TAKUZO ISHIDA MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
We are extremely honored to announce the Takuzo Ishida Memorial Scholarship. We would like to thank Mr. Ishida for his contributions to the Japanese community in Minnesota; his family for allowing us to make this scholarship in his name; and all those who contributed to the memorial fund. We wish to carry on Mr. Ishida's legacy of uniting the people of Minnesota and Japan by awarding this scholarship to the student most dedicated to following in Mr. Ishida's footsteps. For more information about Mr. Ishida's contributions to our community please click here.
The Japan America Society of Minnesota (JASM) will award the Takuzo Ishida Memorial Scholarship to a student enrolled in a Minnesota high school who wants to broaden their knowledge of Japan through a combination of study and travel. The target award is currently $1000, but this may be adjusted in certain cases, at the discretion of the Steering Committee for the scholarship. The awards are specifically to be used for travel to or within Japan before, during, or after the student’s specified term(s) of study for a time period of one month or more. If you would like to make a contribution to the Takuzo Ishida Memorial Scholarship's endowment, please click here.
Due to the pandemic, we will not be accepting the application for 2021. Please check back in 2021 for the 2022 scholarship. Thank you very much for your support.
