Malaysia Scholarship 2008-2009

Background

This year the scholars will consider what "true prosperity" is, while approaching the concept by examining various realities and issues around the globe. Therefore JAL Foundation and JAL are now calling for 2006 JAL Scholarship Program applications.

The selected scholars will receive sponsorship in terms of air travel (JAL economy class return tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo), insurance, accommodation, meals and domestic transportation within Japan.

Through the process we hope this year's participants will realize that they individually have the power and ability to be a driving force to direct the 21st century in a positive direction. JAL aim to make the JAL Scholarship Programme a setting for: recognizing and accepting diversity, increasing mutual understanding, and creating friendships. Together as members of the Asia Oceania region we will consider what is necessary for, and what can be personally done to realize "truly prosperous societies.
