On April 2, two new Japan Education Pathways (JEP) Scholars matriculated at ICU. Solomiia, who is from Ukraine, and Zahra, who is from Afghanistan, are this year’s recipients of this scholarship. JEP was designed to support students fleeing conflict with full scholarships at universities in Japan, and ICU is a founding member. Other members include Waseda University, Soka University, Ryukoku University, Kansai Gaidai University among others. At ICU, JICUF and ICU share the cost.

Congratulations to Zahra and Solomiia! May your days at ICU be filled with wonder and joy.
