Hi - if anyone is in Delaware or Mississippi - there is a U.S-Japan senate scholarship to Japan available to H.S. juniors for 6 weeks this summer...Please feel free to forward this along. What this means is that there are no qualified applicants at this point in time from those 2 states to award the scholarship to. This is through the well known, reputative exchange student organization Youth For Understanding that I volunteer with. Additional information can be found at www.yfu.org. We also have Japanese students in need of host families for the 2005-2006 school year, and info. & application is on the website too. Many thanks!!!!
