How to Apply

2024 Entering Freshman Scholarship Twin Cities Chapter scholarship applications are available!  Completed applications and transcripts must be postmarked no later than Wednesday, April 3, 2024.

To recommend someone for a scholarship, please contact Pam Ohno Dagoberg (scholarship@tcjacl.org).

Scholarship recipients must be current JACL members. Regular/Individual, Student/Youth, or Couple/Family membership status is required. Individual membership of a parent does not qualify the student to receive a scholarship. If, for financial reasons, the scholarship applicant would like to be considered for a one-time membership grant, contact scholarship@tcjacl.org before submitting the application.

In addition to completing the application form and submitting a transcript, students must write a short essay entitled The Relevance of JACL Today. Applicants are evaluated based on scholastic achievement, extra curricular activities, community service, and the quality of their essay.

Application is included below.
