Mitsui USA Doubles Scholarship Funds – Applications Now Available
JAST is pleased to announce that the Mitsui USA Scholarships in Tennessee Program, now in its tenth year, will continue this year in support of the aspirations of globally-minded high school seniors across the state. Four $5000 freshman-year scholarships will be funded and awarded to successful applicants who plan to enroll in a four-year public college or university within the State of Tennessee’s Board of Regents or University of Tennessee systems.

The Mitsui USA Scholarships in Tennessee Program was established by Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc., through its office in Nashville and The Mitsui USA Foundation in New York to provide educational opportunities to college-bound high school seniors and promote cross-cultural understanding between Japan and Tennessee. The Program is administered by the Japan-America Society of Tennessee, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation, headquartered in Nashville and funded by individual and corporate membership fees.
