| Travel Scholarship |
 |
Travel scholarships are granted to qualified Japanese-English bilingual undergraduate, graduate students and experienced professionals to help defray the costs of attending the Career Forum. Only limited number of applicants can receive the scholarship, but in the past, many candidates who did not receive a scholarship have come to the Career Forum on their own expenses and successfully landed a job. Below is an estimate of the maximum amount you may receive if you are selected as a travel scholarship recipient. The amount is determined by the state you reside during the school year, or the state where you currently reside, if you have already graduated.

We will only contact those candidates whom we have selected as travel scholarship candidates. Candidates who do not receive an email notification via My CFN Inbox by November 11th, 2009, unfortunately were not selected for this year's scholarship. Given the availability of many career opportunities at the Career Forum, we strongly encourage you to attend the Career Forum even without the scholarship.
The travel scholarship will be awarded after 2:00PM on the second and after 10:00AM on the third day of the Career Forum. To receive the scholarship, qualified participants must attend the Career Forum at least two days and present the registration name badge and a valid ID (e.g. driver's license, student ID or passport). If your ID does not reflect your current address registered to CFN, please make sure to bring another document that proves your current address (e.g. utility bill, mail).
* The travel scholarship will only be awarded at the Career Forum from the afternoon of the second day. Due to security reasons, under no circumstances can we award the scholarship before or after the Career Forum. Please plan your trip accordingly.
** Other forms of compensation, such as hotel coupons, may be awarded in place of cash awards. |

Many candidates travel from as far away as Europe and Japan to attend the Career Forum without a travel scholarship. Don't miss this rare event to explore your career opportunities!
