Completed applications and transcripts will be required to be postmarked no later than Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
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.
