JACL’s National Scholarship Program
Annually, the JACL offers about 30 college scholarships for incoming college freshmen, undergraduates, graduates, and those specializing in law and the creative and performing arts.

A scholarship program brochure and applications for the upcoming academic year can be found on the JACL website at www.jacl.org.   The National JACL Scholarship Program requires that all applicants be a student or individual member of the JACL.  Membership under a parent will not fulfill this requirement.
