Okazaki Scholarship

The Okazaki Scholarship Defined

The Okazaki Scholarship fund will be used to help AJJF members attend the National Convention, who could not otherwise attend because of financial limitations. The scholarship will be used to pay for the cost of the complete convention package (clinics, banquet, T-shirt).

The expenditure for each convention from the Okazaki Scholarship Fund will not exceed 60% of the amount in the fund at the end of the fiscal year. This amount will be used to help as many members as practicable attend the Convention.

The scholarship fund will be replenished each year by adding a surcharge to the clinics fee for each individual attending the Convention and by donations from the membership or other supporters.

Eligible applicants will be determined be the Okazaki Scholarship Committee, based on the application information and Sensei recommendation. If more applicants apply than can be offered scholarships, the Okazaki Scholarship Committee will determine the recipients of the scholarship.

The application dates will be determined each year and advertised to all AJJF members. To apply for an Okazaki Scholarship, applicants must complete this application and return it to the Manager of Conventions on time.
