Language Study in Japan
The premiere American program for in-country advanced Japanese language training, the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies (IUC) was founded by Stanford in 1961 and is currently administered by a consortium of 16 North American universities with major programs in Japanese studies. Qualified Stanford graduate students are eligible for a number of scholarship opportunities to attend the IUC, including FLAS, Blakemore, The Nippon Foundation Fellowship, and others.
