| Title | Reischauer Scholar Application |
| Body | From: REISCHAUER SCHOLARS PROGRAM The United States-Japan Foundation (USJF) and the Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) would like to invite all interested high school juniors and seniors to apply to the Reischauer Scholars Program. Named after the former U.S. ambassador to Japan, the Program will select 20 exceptional high school juniors and seniors from throughout the United States to engage in an intensive study of Japan. Selected students will participate in an Internet-mediated course on Japan from February to June 2004. This course will provide students with a broad overview of Japanese history, literature, religion, art, politics, and economics, with a special focus on the U.S.-Japan relationship. Top scholars, leading diplomats, and young professionals will provide lectures on CD-ROM as well as engage students in on-line dialogue. These lectures and discussions will be woven into an overall curriculum that will provide students with reading materials and assignments. Concurrent with the Internet-based course, students will develop individual research projects. Final research projects will be printed in journal format and students will be required to lead two presentations on Japan at their schools or in their communities. Students who successfully complete the course will earn a Certificate of Completion from Stanford University and the USJF. Selected students will participate in 12 "virtual classes" via the Internet between February and June 2004. Students should expect to allot 2 to 4 hours per week to complete the lectures, discussions, readings, and assignments. Since this is a distance-learning course, however, students will be able to structure the work around their individual schedules. Although intensive, the Reischauer Scholars Program will equip participants with a rare degree of expertise about Japan that may have a significant impact on their choice of study and future career. Interested students can download applications at www.reischauerscholars.org or contact Waka Brown via e-mail waka@stanford.edu for more information. Completed applications must be postmarked by November 1, 2003.
